[SOLVED] Argument list too long in Centos after using jpegoptim -m 80 *.jpg

Issue

I want to compress all jpg files in directory /var/sentora/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/mysite_com/_files/photo/ using jpegoptim`.

I use code jpegoptim -m 80 *.jpg but it shows error "Argument list too long".

Previously I have increased the ulimit -s 65536 but it still shows error "Argument list too long".

Please help me to solve the problem

Solution

Try using find and xargs with jpegoptim:

find . -name "*.jpg" -print0 | xargs -0 jpegoptim -m 80

non-recursive:

find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.jpg" -print0 | xargs -0 jpegoptim -m 80
