Hi,

I'm using the following command to get a list of files on the system.

find /releases -type f -exec ls -l > /home/sebarry/list.txt '{}' \;

however, its searching a directory I don't want it to search so I know I have to use prune but I don't seem to be able to get prune and exec to work in the same command. I need an exec of ls -l because of the files found I want a long listing - their size etc.

The command works when instead of exec-ing I print.

find /releases -type f -path /releases/.snapshot -prune -o -print

but this doesn't

find /releases -type f -path /releases/.snapshot -prune -o -exec ls -l {} \;

Any help most, most appreciated

Sean
