Escaping the ; with a backslash was killing me. Also, use a + if your exec command handles it and it will seriously speed things up. Thanks for the post.

I used it extensively when I was an interning as a software archive administrator at a baby bell telco. I used various testbeds to proof my wacky shell scripts before unleashing them on the massive VAX/BSD code trees. These scripts would run for hours. In subsequent years I have found that my grasp of the power and subtleties of find and exec have seriously wained in disuse. - Andrew Yeah, find is brutally powerful, and sometimes difficult to master.

I remember having used this flag years ago, probably in some slick tutorial article, but I had forgotten all about it. Maybe this would make a good alias for something like "checkPHP", and similar variants? (I find that my .tcshrc file ends up also being a crib sheet for lesser-used unix pipings.) Very nice.
