Replace find with locate

Hey everyone, I have a script that uses find to find all files within some sub-dirs and sets a extended acl on those files it finds.

Find is somewhat slow and this script is taking longer then I would like, so I would like to somehow replace the following shell command with locate if possible...

Code:

find /usr/file_manager_2007/ -type f -prune -exec setfacl -m g:directors:rwx {} \;

Can anyone help... ?

Thanks.

 

Have a look at the exec(); function.

 

I'm sorry I don't understand,

Do you mean something is incorrect about my syntax?

 

It might not be any faster, but try this:

Code:

locate '/usr/file_manager_2007/*' |
 while read file
 do
    [ -f "$file" ] && setfacl -m g:directors:rwx "$file"
 done
