Using find non-recursively?

[Carlo Henrico_1]

Hi All

I need to use a find command because I need to use the -exec functionality, but only on files found in the current directory, not sub-directories. What I am doing is deleting files in the current directory which are older than 10 minutes, but I do not want to delete the files which confirm to the search specification in the sub-directories.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

My only idea is to move the subdirectories and create symbolic links to it... By default, find does not follow symbolic links. But it is only workaround

Hi Carlo

Try using:
# find / -path "//*" -prune -exec \;
