Insecure? In what way?
I envision something like this:
find . -name "foo*" -exec sh -c "file {} >{}.tmp" \;
Of course running this repeatedly is a problem unless it gets more
complicated to avoid creating more files than desired.
find . -name "foo*.tmp" -prune -o -name "foo*" -exec sh -c "file {} >{}.tmp"
\;
What problem should I be aware of in the above?
Thanks
Bob
