Recursively read folders and executes command on each of them

Question

I am trying to recurse into folders and then run commands on them, using bash script. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

For most recursive file operations, you want to use find, as the other answers explain.

There is an example of a recursive bash script included in the bash-doc package. If you've got those examples installed, it will be at /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/functions/recurse (on Debian).
