unix find command
I need help with tweaking the unix find command. currently the find command searches all the directories under $div/users modified in the last 1 day.

find $div/users -type d -mtime +1

I need this changed to find only subdirectories and sub-subdirectories modified in the last 1 day under $div/users. the find should go only two levels, and not 4 levels below it is currently doing.

Check the man find for your OS.
Code:
find $div/users -maxdepth 2 -type d -mtime -1

advanced unix find
The find should search only for directories modified down to two levels.
I tried max depth, but it is not working.

find $div/users -type d -mtime +1 -maxdepth 2

Question
What OS are you on...you might have to pipe the output of find to awk in order to limit the display to only 2 levels below the current search directory?
