Hi, am trying to perform an update on multiple site that use an open source CMS but untaring a patch file in each sites httpdocs directory. My plan was to perform a find for the patch file then untar using the following command:

find . -name "patchfile.tar.gz" -exec tar -xzvf {} \; -print

but it doesnt seem to work successfully

anyone have any ideas as to why not?

Many thanks.
