xargs: warning: options -max-args and -replace/-I/-i are mutually exclusive, ignoring previous -max-args value - Sal Ferrarello This threw me for a loop so I'm writing this down to help others (and likely me in the future). I swear I've used "xargs" with both "-I" and "--max-args" in the past but now I'm getting this warning and things are behaving improperly. It turns out there are two version of xargs, (FreeBSD xargs and GNU xargs). FreeBSD xargs is installed on BSD systems (including MacOS) and GNU xargs is found on on Linux systems.

Here a quick way to match & execute, something that would usually invoke at least #grep and #xargs: #nmcli #docker bridges

nmcli connection show | awk -e '{ if ("bridge" == $3) {system("nmcli connection delete " $1)} }'

Note: system() execs sh, production => make sure to quote.
