With the example echo script only returns: (Despite the fact that there are many .jpgs) $find . -name '*.jpg' | xargs ./Suggestion.sh ./test1.jpg $ Is this how it is meant to work?
I was reading the man page for xargs but didnt understand most of it: I get the impression that xargs should do: ./Suggestion.sh <find result1> ./Suggestion.sh <find result2> etc etc? .... Thats what it would probably have to do since image magick's convert seems to refuse to convert multiple files on one command line. Further Ideas? Thanks a Mil!
