Re: Omitting directories when using find in qshell

The first parameter you pass to 'find' tells it which directory to look in. Try doing something like this:

find /home /usr /tmp /QOpenSys /QDLS -name qpwdsync.log -type f

I realize that this is more cumbersome than telling it to exclude something, but... I don't know of a way to do that with 'find'.

I want to omit certain directories like /QNTC because that's REALLY
dragging on the process.
find / -name qpwdsync.log -type f
