    Sorry my question apparently wasn't clear. It's not about that specific example, rather about how to use yes with xargs -p. Commented Aug 26, 2015 at 6:37
  • Ok got it, Could you make another specific example so I can help you with that? Commented Aug 26, 2015 at 16:24
  • Updated with more info and the specific example I am working on. I am just surprised that the tool that is meant to answer questions from other cmd tools, doesn't do the job it's supposed to. Almost all examples I saw for yes are for rm specifically, which is rather limiting. Commented Aug 27, 2015 at 18:27
