A very, very small point with your good note. I strongly advise
avoiding the hard code of the /usr/bin/find path. This has always
come back to torment me when moving scripts from system to system.
The find command I want is sometimes in /bin/find and sometimes in
/usr/bin/find and sometimes the GNU find that I want to use overriding
the native system find is someplace like /usr/local/bin/find. I find
it much better to avoid specifying that path and just letting it be
found in the shell PATH.
