This is in the "There has to be an easy way to do this" category-
I have a directory which contains several subdirectories, each of which
contains over 100 subdirectories, each of which contains at least one *.tar.gz file.
I would like to extract all the tarballs in the directories where they are now,
and keep the directory structure intact.
(If the people who set up the CD had tarred it properly, I wouldn't have this problem.)
I'm looking for a command or script which would work from the top dir like:
$ tar -Rxz *.tar.gz
would work if it worked that way, which of course it won't, since -R is an invalid
option for tar.
In english:
"Descend though all subdirectories from the present directory,
and extract all tar.gz files right where they sit."
I looked at piping the output from ls, but it only outputs filenames, not the required
paths,
so I don't even know where to start with writing a script.
Any ideas?
