GNU "find" is a very useful and versatile app. However at the cost of being
rather complex and demanding a lot of typing to initialize certain functions.
Here's a script that tries to mimic sweeps simple function on Linux:

CODE

#!/bin/bash
[ $# -eq 2 ] || { echo "run something recursively from working directory";
echo "usage: `basename $0` '<command>' '<glob>'"; exit; }
echo
echo "`date "+%F %T"` running command:"
echo "find . -name \"$2\" -type f -exec $1 '{}' \;"
echo
find . -name "$2" -type f -exec $1 '{}' \;
