Abstract

This paper addresses a common systems administration task: the recursive extraction of compressed archives scattered across a nested directory structure. While the Linux unzip utility is the de facto standard for handling .zip files, its default behavior is non-recursive. This document explores three primary methodologies for automating this task: utilizing native shell globbing with find , leveraging find with exec directives, and employing loop structures for granular control.
