To executes commands with ‘find’ use the ‘-exec’ option. Example:

find /var - type f -name "*.log" -mtime -2 -exec ls -als {} ;

English translation: Find files in /var that end with “.log” and have been modified in the past two days. Run “ls -als” on the found files.

Sample output of the above command on a Solaris 8 box:

hostname# find /var -type f -name "*.log" -mtime -2 -exec ls -als {} ;
1392 -rw-r--r--   1 root     other     700056 Nov 21 23:40 /var/log/magstar_atl.log
   4 -rw-rw-rw-   1 perf     perf        1335 Nov 21 00:15 /var/opt/perf/logs/sitedailyora_startup.log
  76 -rw-r--r--   1 root     other      38716 Nov 21 23:30 /var/yp/ypxfr.log
7328 -rw-r--r--   1 root     other    3742300 Nov 21 11:47 /var/VRTSvcs/log/engine_A.log

Instead of “ls -als” in the above example you can substitute any command or a script name.
