How to batch resize images in different directories

I have thousands of images dispersed through tenths of directories. I need to resize them using the batch command.
Problem. If I close my action with "save" command then I get a prompt for JPEG-Options on each processed image. If I use "save as", I don't get promped but all the images get saved in one folder (the info seems to be stored in "save as" action command.
Is there a workarround for this or I have to use 3rd party software (any suggestions on which?)
TIA

Are you sure you want to save as JPEGs? In any event, answer all the questions in an action. You might find it better to use ImageReady's droplets. ImageReady is a little more friendly to droplet behavior. Copy/drag it to where you want, and do it.

For this, I use UNIX find (built-in, for example in Mac OS X) and imagemagick (free), in a shell script.
