I hope this doesn't break rule 2. I have a bunch of folders that all have a .rar in them and I need to extract all the files and place them in one directory. Is there an easier way to do this than by going into each directory individually? what it looks like: /dirA---->rar1; /dirB---->rar2; /dirC---->rar3 etc...

You can use a pipe with xargs command like that:

find . -name *.rar|xargs -I{} unrar {}

find shows the relative path for the rar files. xargs execute for each one unrar
