Re: Limit qshell find to one subdirectory

The definition of find is

> The find utility recursively descends the directory tree for each file listed,

But there are a couple options I would try - have not done so myself. 
These are from the QShell manual.

1. Try -prune somewhere after /QIBM but not immediately after the 
-name. According to the manual

> It causes find to not descend into the current file.

Not sure if that means what I think.

2. Use the -x option, which is described as

> Prevent find from descending into directories that have a device 
> number different than that of the
> file from which the descent began.
