Using find -print0 and xargs -0 is correct. But I think you are hitting a limitation of unzip - it expects only one zip file at a time. Add "-n 1" (or "--max-args 1") to xargs - to force it to run unzip with only one zip file at a time. --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
