quick question on xargs --
how can you have xargs work with something like scp? the FINAL
arg to scp needs to be the destination; is there a way?
find . | xargs cmd
does the same thing as
cmd ./file1 ./file2 ./file3 ./file4
but i need it to do something like
cmd ./file1 ./file2 ./file3 ./file4 DESTPATH
rtfm, i discovered the '--replace' (-i) item, thinking that
xargs -i# command # suffix
would replace # with instances (filenames) from standard input,
as in
command file1 file2 file3 suffix
command file4 file5 suffix
so i try
$ find . -type f -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 -i# scp -p # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~office/
usage: scp [-pqrvBC46] [-F config] [-S program] [-P port]
[-c cipher] [-i identity] [-o option]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
usage: scp [-pqrvBC46] [-F config] [-S program] [-P port]
[-c cipher] [-i identity] [-o option]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2
to figure out what's going on, i try
find . -type f -mtime -2 -print0 | xargs -0 -i# echo # [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~office/
and get a whole lotta blank lines. what did i miss?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #22 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
SECURITY-CONSCIOUS? Good! Here's how you can use apt-get to keep
your system up-to-date with the latest security patches: in
/etc/apt/sources.list include these lines--
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Thereafter, a quick "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" is all
you need to keep the gremlins at bay.
