Not true, it will work.

However, there are assumptions regarding the format of the 
obsolete_clients_list.txt. It works fine if for example the client names 
are on separate lines. I'm also assuming a recent Linux edition of 
xargs, as there may be other xargs versions or implementations that 
behave differently.
