Yes I do.
I've done something like that.
You start a
find . -name "*"
that should list EVERY file.
with the 'file' program you can see if its a binary or not.
If it says something like ELF-32.. executable... FINE
So you can TRY this (not proved)
--- pack.sh ---
#!/bin/sh
for i in `find / -name "*"`
do
file $i|grep executable >/dev/null && upx $i
done
---
If you want to see whats going on add the following line after 'do'
echo $i
That script should crawl through the hd and squeeze every executable
(hopefully)
I've tried something like that before that saves about 10 Meg (or so...)
