Y'know, being a newbie at something is about as stupid as
things generally
get. So I'm feeling totally dumb at the moment.
The directory I need to perform the find on, when using
find, is just "/".
find -x /
The -x is to limit the find to only the startup volume.
But when I try:
# ./date_sort /
I get:
use: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I am in the proper directory (the one where date_sort is
located) and did
the chmod.
Something really obvious right? Like the directory for this
script to do the
same thing find is doing needs a different form?
All My Best,
Jeffrey
