Yes, the find command is a bit too much for me in.. regular interactive use - i.e. if it has even an outside chance of doing something I might regret, I usually choose to run a test first.. and if still in doubt.. I back up the target tree(s).
As to dotglob, I knew of its existence.. but it never made it to my active vocabulary. The problem with ‘shopt -s dotglob; command’ is that it leaves the option set for the ensuing session. Apart from POSIX conformity, Is there a downside to having it on at al times.? Maybe I should write a ‘dg’ wrapper function.. Thanks, CJ -- ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
