Why did that fail? Are you also getting an error message from find?
[jblaine@new-host src]$ find /home/jblaine -mtime -1 -print
/home/jblaine
/home/jblaine/.gconf
/home/jblaine/.gconf/apps
I was surprised to find this today.
The following fails:
echo /some/place/foo.txt | basename
This also fails:
find /somewhere -print | xargs basename
This *does* work though, somehow, when the above does not:
echo /some/place/foo.txt | xargs basename
What is going on here?
