I am trying to figure this out on an Android phone running Oreo / 8.0, with toybox 0.7.3-android.

I am trying to get a list of files inside a folder and their respective mtime. I am running this command:

find . -type f -exec stat -c %n ; -exec stat -c %y ;

or

find . -type f -exec stat -c %n "" ; -exec stat -c %y "" ;

In both cases I am only getting the result from the first invocation of "stat". Am I overseeing something or is this the way toybox works on Android?

  I think it's a bug in toybox as it doesn't work with the newest binary, though it runs with busybox.

  It definitely is a bug. I reported it and it got already fixed. Unfortunately, this won't help me on Android until this version of toybox makes it into the firmware.

If toybox can't do multiple exec, there are alternatives.

In this particular case, you may be able to just use a single stat:

find . -type f -exec stat -c "$(echo -e "%nn%y")" ;

# or just insert the newline verbatim in single quotes:
find . -type f -exec stat -c '%n
%y' ;

For running multiple commands (assuming paths don't contain newlines):

find . -type f -print | while IFS= read -r f; do
 stat -c $n "$f";
 stat -c %y "$f";
done

  Wow perfect! The first command did it! I tried to do it with a single stat command as well but couldn't figure out how to escape newline. I wanted to put that into the "-c <format>" part, which didn't work. Your code snippet does it! Thx so much!

  13 extra characters just to enter one newline :-) You could also just use single quotes and enter them verbatim.

  interesting. I guess your shell doesn't follow POSIX then (pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/… - section 2.2.2)
