Hi,

In the code below, while the "xarsg" command does not search in
"tavi_valo" subdir?

I can't find an immediate and obvious reason for that behaviour. Please remove the 2>/dev/null so we might get a hint on a possible problem. man xargs :

drwxr-x--- 2 root system 96 Jun 28 2012 nfs_aing_tmp might give a problem as it won't be accessible to UG92222:tava .

�Hola Jos� Luis! Si me lo permites me gustar�a se�alarte algunos detalles.

> do
> find $dir -name tv_va_servbonos 2>/dev/null
> done

ls -1 is never of good use in a for loop, the same can be achieved by shell expansion as

for dir in *; do
    if [[ -d "$dir" ]]; then
        # do something there with "$dir"
    fi
done

The if checks that the variable $dir has an existing directory. ls -1 will send a list of files as well, which it will not do if passed to the find command. Variables should be "quoted" when passed to another commands. Inside a if [[ ]] is not necessary because of the double [[ ]] but I chose to do so, since it doesn't harm. Inside a single if [ ] you should do quote.

The find command can do recursively by itself what you are trying to do in the for loop.

find . -name tv_va_servbonos 2>/dev/null

There's a highlighted red dot.

Espero que te ayude.
