Subject: More on proper 'find' usage
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 21:32:06 +0000
Just to warn you... New findutils releases are starting to get a lot
more picky about being given correct arguments. The correct way to
invoke find to avoid problems is as follows:

find [paths] [options] [rules] [actions]

The [paths] part is mandatory, and the [options] (such as -maxdepth)
should come *before* any [rules].
