2 EXECS IN A FIND

#################

# find -iname “*ip*” -exec echo {} \; -exec cat {} \;

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

./if-post-down.d/my-iptables-save.sh      <—– echo {} \; running — for first match

iptables-save -c > /etc/iptables.rules       <—– cat {} \; running — for first match

./if-pre-up.d/my-iptables-restore.sh         <—– echo {} \; running — for second match

iptables-restore -c < /etc/iptables.rules       <—– cat {} \; running — for second match

SYNTAX:

find [options] -exec [command1 using {} as placeholder for filename] ;\ -exec [command2 using {} as placeholder for filename] ;\

THE BUILDING BLOCK IS:

-exec [command1 using {} as placeholder for filename] ;\

NOTE: Each exec runs in order as they appear per file. Not exec command1 on every file, and then command2 on every file. IN OTHER WORDS: Its more like file1 gets command1 and command2 ran on it, then file2 gets command1 and command2 ran on it, etc.
