On macOS, how do I know if I have GNU Find installed?

[tomachinz]

If I type find I get a find. It looks like I have one installed via Brew.

/u/l/bin ❯❯❯ ls -la find
lrwxr-xr-x  1 tom  access_bpf  34  2 Sep  2016 find -> ../Cellar/findutils/4.6.0/bin/find

I ask before when I try to run bsync I get error:

zsh: /usr/local/bin/bsync: bad interpreter: /usr/bin/python3: no such file or directory

/u/l/bin ❯❯❯ brew install python3                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              ✘ 127

Hi @tomachinz

Sorry for the (very) late response.

I corrected the "shebang" at the top of the script (first line of the script). Can you give it a try (it should be more portable).

[tomachinz]

Marvellous! It seems to be working. I also use this to sync my music library!

 ➜  bin which bsync
/usr/local/bin/bsync
 ➜  bin ls -la /usr/local/bin/bsync
-rwxr-xr-x  1 tom  admin  31755 11 Jul 04:26 /usr/local/bin/bsync
 ➜  bin bsync
Usage: bsync [options] DIR1 DIR2

    DIR can be user@sshserver:DIR
    -v      Verbose
    -i      Ignore permissions
    -b      Batch mode (exit on conflict)
    -p PORT     Port for SSH
    -o SSHARGS  Custom options for SSH

Many thanks!
