Details:


     # safer
     find -exec sh -c 'something "$@"' {} \;
     find -execdir sh -c 'something "$@"' {}\;


should probably be


     # safer
     find -exec sh -c 'something "$@"' sh {} \;
     find -execdir sh -c 'something "$@"' sh {} \;


as sh uses it's first argument as $0:


$ sh -c 'echo "$@"' one two three        
two three
$ sh -c 'echo "$0" "$@"' one two three
one two three
$ sh -c 'echo "$@"' sh one two three
one two three
