RE: CHGOWN

I've had performance problems using -exec with 'find' on the iSeries, especially if it's going to find a bunch of files. (I use PASE shell more than QShell.) A faster way might be

QSH CMD('find <startdir> -user <OLDUSER> | xargs chown <NEWUSER>')

I think the difference is that -exec spawns a separate job for each object it finds, while xargs batches up a handful of files into one job based on total command length or something.

Is there a variation of the IFS command CHGOWN which will change the owner
of all IFS objects owned by one owner to another?
This person owns too many objects to try to use WRKOBJOWN and option 9

Try this ...

QSH CMD('find <startdir> -user <OLDUSER> -exec chown <NEWUSER> {} \;')
