Re: Can't figure out recursion problem in bash/freebsd - reply/solution to all helpers
Hello, There were two approaches offered to my problem 1) changing my script: it runs if the cd .. is moved from the end of the script into the then clause of the if statement === #! /bin/sh echo Starting in `pwd` for hoo in *; do echo Found item $hoo if [ -d $hoo ]; then echo Pushing $hoo cd $hoo $0 cd .. else echo Processing file $hoo fi echo Going to next item done echo Finishing in `pwd` # cd .. was here in original script === I shall be bold: this strikes me as a bug in bash. Am I off my nut here? 2) use find instead for the traversing of the file hierarchy === find $PWD -type f -execdir processingscript {} \; === I have tried both methods and on a small sample (10,000 files going only 3 deep) and there were no meaningful differences in execution time.
