Other than having to quote the operand of -name, that worked just fine.
I finally tracked down the problem. I started the script many years ago
with:
#! /bin/sh
That works fine on Red Hat because sh is symlinked to bash. On Ubuntu
it isn't, it's symlinked to dash, another shell. I changed the shebang
to
#! /bin/bash
and it now works on Ubuntu. Now to check other scripts I've
written over the years. Gnrrrrr.....
Thanks for the help.
