FIND in specific directory

Vadim Loginov — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 07:08:09 GMT

Hi,

I have got a directory: /home/aa/
There are some subdirectories in it:
/home/aa/a
/home/aa/b
/home/aa/..

I want to find all files in /home/aa/ older then 10 day

When I run: | find /home/aa/ -type f -mtime +10 | I have got output with data from subdirectories.
Are there any ways to run this search only in /home/aa/ directory?

Cheers

Vadim

Hi,
cd /home/aa
find . -type f -mtime +10 ! -path "./*/*"

Shalom,

try the -depth parameter.

Don't have any Unix boxes on in my house but the paramter is available on linux and may be worth a look.

There are online man pages for HP-UX at http://docs.hp.com

That's exactly what I was thinking, Steve, so I tried it. I also tried -prune, -follow, and -only. None of them worked as expected. Now I'm confused.

Hi Peter,

To be honest I have assigned some points to everyone for this and for my previous thread. But now I see that status is still â unassignedâ .
I am gonna fix it very soon.

Cheers

Vadim
