Y'know, being a newbie at something is about as stupid as things generally get. So I'm feeling totally dumb at the moment.
The directory I need to perform the find on, when using find, is just "/". find -x / The -x is to limit the find to only the startup volume. But when I try: # ./date_sort / I get: use: bad interpreter: No such file or directory I am in the proper directory (the one where date_sort is located) and did the chmod. Something really obvious right? Like the directory for this script to do the same thing find is doing needs a different form?
