Hello,

I didn't know that. I had learnt (some years ago) that xargs was better 
than -exec and I've been showed this command with -i.
Moreover, I didn't know too that the -i option brings 1 process per file.
So thank you a lot, I've learnt something and from now, I try to make no 
more this mistake !

Julien.
