But what you can do is: find ... -printf 'cp %p /d/data/%p_%s\n' | xargs -L1 where you instruct the -printf form to output the entire command you want executed (rather than trying to piece together the command with -exec), and instead have xargs execute it. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
