Note that the first option is a one, not an el.
Or for that matter, just "echo *log" instead of ls.
Neither of those are reliable. If there are enough matches to require
xargs, then both ls and echo will fail. xargs also doesn't care
whether or not each entry is printed on its own line, so "ls -1" isn't
better than "ls" with no argument.
It is better, because "ls -1" doesn't print all the junk. This wasn't
meant to deal with the spaces-in-filenames problem. The IFS reset I
mentioned in another post is what's needed to deal with that, isn't it?
Combined with `ls -1` of course.
