[PLUG] Bash Scripting Question

[Josh Cady]

Probably a stupid question, but if one wanted to find all files with
execute bits set in a folder (find . -executable), and then execute
them, all within a bash script, is there a simple for files in *
loop that would accomplish this?

yes, but wouldn't it be easier to do that with just find?

find . -executable -exec {} \;

That will work ... but caution ... it does search subdirectories as well 
... may need to add something like ...
-maxdepth levels
Descend at most levels (a non-negative integer) levels of direc‐
tories below the command line arguments. ‘-maxdepth 0' means
only apply the tests and actions to the command line arguments.

Check your man pages ... YMMV

Thanks for the help.  The find . -executable -exec '{}' \; works well.
