Can you provide a concrete example/scenario where this is needed, and find/xargs are not sufficient ? For example, to apply chmod/chown/chgrp on files alone (like your --exclude-directories), one can use: find $DIR -type f | xargs chmod [NEWMODE] And of course, find's predicates can be expanded to include symlinks, sockets and other conditions, and using -print0 for safer execution. regards, - assaf
