If the filelist is potentially too big for the max argument list on the
system, I would do something like this:
find $MAGDIR -print | grep -i '\.zip$' | tr0 | xargs -0 some command
We have a ton of filenames with spaces and other crap, so "tr0" just
replaces newlines with nulls:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
exec tr '\012' '\000'
exit 1
