exec_command_for_dirs_README.txt

Hi guys. Recently I had a situation when a certain directory had a few more sub-directories, and 
I needed to perform an identical list of actions for each of those sub-directories and doing that 
manually by changing the current directory and repeatedly executing same commands was quite annoying 
so I decided to spend half an hour and create a bash script for that purpose. 

A particular example of the situation I had was having several virtual machines located accordingly 
in ~/Boxes/serverOne ~/Boxes/serverTwo ~/Boxes/serverThree (I was testing ansible and was recreating and destroying vms).  

This script asks for the confirmation as well.

You can find a script here https://gist.github.com/okovalov/8f3be1e1e68c47d18cb34992527492b1

Example of how to use it

exec_command_for_dirs ~/Boxes *Provision* 'vagrant halt; vagrant destroy'

Here exec_command_for_dirs is ~/.bash_profile function which uses an executable 
file ~/bin_scripts/exec_command_for_dirs.sh but that is just a more convenient way I prefer. 

You obviously could call that script directly

~/bin_scripts/exec_command_for_dirs.sh ~/Boxes *Provision* 'vagrant halt; vagrant destroy'

Also here is my ~/.bashrc function to run it

exec_command_for_dirs () { ~/bin_scripts/exec_command_for_dirs.sh "$@" "$@" "$@"; }

Not a perfect one but it works. I hope it will help someone as it helped me.
