That won't work if filenames contain blanks, something I fight daily.
For blanks, do something like "find . -name "*log" -exec rm -fr "{}" \;
I have a tiny program called "zeroify" which reads a line from input up to a
newline, replaced the newline with a zero byte, and pushes it out stdout. Then I
can use the "-0" option of xargs and not worry about special characters.
I worry that find is likely to discover things I don't want to remove, although
it can be tamed with "-maxdepth" in most cases.
