Very nice! Thanks for sharing that example. It definitely is more
efficient than my brute force example However I think as an example
the brute force one is more clear. Learn one and then expand to the
other? :-)

Lots of hard coded paths! If /usr/bin is not in path then there is a
problem. Hard coded paths to programs have always come back to bite
me. I recommend avoiding them.

Thanks again for the script!
