In that case use 'xargs -n1' so that xargs will only pass image magick one
file at a time:
find . -name '*.jpg' | xargs -n1 ./
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:
./Su
Or xv -wloop -wait 3 *
Or xv -random -wait 5 *

Put this in a file, then chmod +x that file.
Now, invoke this like so:
$ find . -name '*.jpg' | xargs myscript.sh

them all and maybe some other things. I forget the exact command but with
something like "imagemagick -rotate 90 " where inf
6 matches
