Not sure what environment you are in, but on Linux I do stuff like:
find . -name "*.shp" -exec ogrtindex -f "ESRI Shapefile" tindex.shp {} \;
This will recurse from the current directory (i.e. mapdata) and find all of the
shapefiles and add them to the new tindex.shp file.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] ogrtindex and directory structure
I need to tile index several layers for 50 states. If my directory structure
looks like this:
/mapdata
/AK
.
.
.
/WY
/wy001/Parks.shp, water.shp, etc.
.
.
.
/wy045/Parks.shp, water.shp, etc.
Is there any way to create tile index files at the /mapdata/ directory that
point to all the /state/county subdirectories? The ogrtindex utility doesn't
seem to have the ability to recurse the directory tree. I could copy all park
files into a /mapdata/parks/ directory, I suppose, and then index all the files
in the directory, but that would put several thousand files into a single
directory, which is a bit unmanageable and ugly. Anybody else come up with a
solution to this problem?
