Finding files for which a command fails
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I would like to recursively find all the files for which a script which accepts a file as an argument returns a non-zero value. Any idea how to do this using 'find' or a similar tool?

find’s -exec action can be used for this:
find . ! -exec yourscript {} ; -print
will print the names of all files for which yourscript fails.
-exec can be used in this way to turn appropriate external commands into find tests.
