Re: Finding empty folders on IFS and QSH find

I suggest that you install the GNU version of 'find' (via yum) and use that instead of the (very limited) one that comes with QShell.

end goal is to remove/delete the empty folders.

I have found information about the QSH find command to find empty folders.
find /home/kcrawford -type d -empty
gives me this error.
find: 001-2187 The option -empty is not valid.

What do I need to do to get the -empty to work?

This works. find /home/kcrawford -type d

I am open to other solutions.
