Follow-up Comment #5, bug #54730 (project findutils): Hmm, given that -exec ... ; does not affect the exit status, it is unfortunate that there is no other way for the user to (directly) affect it. Viz:
jupiter:~$ find / -exec false \; -o -quit jupiter:~$ echo $? 0 The most obvious workaround (making use of the fact that the -exec + form does affect the exit status) is pretty horrible: jupiter:~$ find / -exec false \; -o \( -exec false {} \+ -quit \) ; echo $? 1 _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54730> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
