How to run batch job for multiple extensions with find command?

Question

I am trying to use jpegoptim for optimizing all jpg and jpeg images on my server recursively.

This command is working:

find . -type f -name "*.jpg"   -exec jpegoptim --strip-all {} \;

but i need something like this:

find . -type f -name "*.jpg" -or -name "*.jpeg"   -exec jpegoptim --strip-all {} \;

which is not working. Is there a way to do that ?

`find . -type f -name "*.jp.*g" -exec jpegoptim --strip-all {} \;` — alnet, Dec 08 '15 at 11:09

Try something like this:

find . -type f \( -name "*.jpg" -o -name "*.jpeg" \) -exec jpegoptim --strip-all {} \;

Those brackets are not needed. – 123 Dec 08 '15 at 11:12
