RE: Omitting directories when using find in qshell

To automate what Scott was leading into, is actually very simple:

find $(ls / | grep -v '^QNTC$') -name qpwdsync.log -type f

Simple, tested and working.

If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be
stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the
fog.

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
