Well I was going with
find . -maxdepth 1 -exec cp file.file {} \;
but its a little longer than yours Rick.
Now I see why people use one character switches on commands, it helps you
win script-pissing contests. Facing using -maxdepth when -j would suffice!
I probably also need a -type d in their as well, just incase someone puts
files into /home. I don't think the scripts so far have taken this into
account.
