I needed this when getting fed up of manually copying the favicons.ico file from my web root directory to Studiopress theme folders (there were many).

So I wrote a bash script to find all files names favicon.ico in all subdirectories under the current directory, and overwrite it by the file I wanted.

The following script lists the directories containing the file..

[email protected] [~/public_html/droidzone.in/wp-content/themes/studiopress]# find . -type f -name "favic*" -pr                                                       intf "%h\n" | xargs -i echo Found in "{}"'/'

The next script copies the file favicon.ico from /home/joelgmat/public_html/droidzone.in/favicon.ico to the subdirectories which contain favicon.ico, residing under the current directory

find . -type f -name "favic*" -printf "%h\n" | xargs -i cp /home/joelgmat/public_html/droidzone.in/favicon.ico "{}"'/'
