Unix - Executing same command on same file in multiple sub directories

I have 36 subdirectories in the same directory named 10,11,12,....45

In each subdirectory there is a file named pressure.sh that I would like to execute a command on, the command is qsub

I was wondering if there was a way where I could execute the command qsub on each pressure.sh file in each subdirectory 10-45 from the parent directory?

So I am looking for a code that executes "qsub pressure.sh" one by one in each subdirectory so I do not have to do it one by one every time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Another way is with find and xargs:

find . -name pressure.sh | xargs -n 1 qsub

which finds all pressure.sh, even if deeper than one level.

You can use a glob:

for i in */pressure.sh; do
    qsub $i
done

To be more explicit about the directories, you can use a range:

for i in {10..45}/pressure.sh
