I want to delete all of the core files, unless those files are
executable. I do not want to delete any core directories. I want this
to run as fast as possible. I am especially having trouble
understanding the way that solaris using permissions.

I suppose, it's something like this:

find . -mount -type f -perm ugo !=x -name core  | xargs /bin/rm -f

Any help apprediated. Thanks.

almost... try this:

find . -mount -type f -name core ! -perm -ugo=x | xargs rm -f

the extra "-" applies the permissions as a mask rather than as absolute
values.

find ... -exec rm {} +  is a nice feature in Solaris (it does the
same as xargs)

But, wouldn't the "!" negate that?  It's early for me, I'm probably
missing something.

I was under the impression that "| xargs rm -f" would be quicker as it
will batch the file removals.
