Find functions, commands, and builtins

I'm on Solaris 10 and I have tested the following with ksh(88), bash(3.00) and zsh(4.2.1).

The following code doesn't yield any result:

function foo { echo "Hello World" }

find somedir -exec foo \;

The find does match several files (as shown by replacing -exec ...

I want to remove certain files using find and -exec. But unlikely bash tells me, that I'm "missing" some argument.

find . -name *.png -exec rm {} /;

what do I miss?

same "missing argument" return for my attempt to rename some files:

find . -name ic_launcher.png -exec mv {} other_name.png /;

Can somebody tell me, what bash does miss, and why this command isn't successful?

Is there a way to use exec, but if exec fails to go on with the script? Example:

Code: #!/usr/bin/env bash

exec startx echo "Starting of X failed" If startx fails, the echo will be seen on the screen. I tried all kind of stuff, but guess it ain't of much use to post it here.

I have a bash script, exec.sh like

some command expect test.exp continue other command

in the test.exp file, I have a snippet like:

while {[gets $cmds command]>=0} { send "$command\r" expect { "*OK*" {puts $vout $command} "*fail*" {puts $iout $command} "*blocked*" { what should I put here????} } }

so I want to put something in the curly bracket so that the executio

Hi, The command output:

Code: root@laptop:/home/huangyingw/myproject/git/java/algorithm# fw . public -iname *.java -o -iname *.h -o -iname *.sh find .

Suppose I have a directory structure as follows

test test/a test/b

Now I want to execute a command, such that in the . folder I can execute a command on the basename of the files a and b.

So basically, I want something like this, which I naively tried

find test -type f -exec touch `basename {}` \;

Only, this does not result in empty files a and b in the parent directory.

There is a website with a button, cliking the button should lunch a bash script that suppose to unmount a directory. The button calls functions.inc php script with this function:

function sftmz_release_s3test_connections($bucket_name){ if($bucket_name == 's3test'){ drupal_set_message('Check mount status !

I'm trying to run a command similar to the one below in a bash script.

I was updating my .bash_profile, and unfortunetly I made a few updates and now I am getting:
