[gpfsug-discuss] mmfind will not exec

[John Hearns]

I would dearly like to use mmfind in a project I am working on  (version 4.2.3.4 at the moment)

mmfind /hpc/bscratch  -type f                  work fine

mmfind /hpc/bscratch  -type f -exec /bin/ls {}\ ;      crashes and burns

I know there are supposed to be problems with exec and mmfind, and this is sample software shipped without warranty etc.
But why let me waste hours on this when it won't work?
There is even an example in the README for mmfind

./mmfind /encFS -type f -exec /bin/readMyFile {} \;
But in the help for mmfind:
-exec COMMANDs are terminated by a standalone ';' or by the string '{} +'

So which is it? The normal find version {} \;    or         {} +
