**HELP** how to do a listing of dirs and all sub dirs only
I am trying to get a listing of ALL directories only under /export (as an example). I can get all the dirs directly under /export but I need any sub dirs under those dirs. I've looked (here and google) but can not find anything that works

UNIX tools are flexible enough that you aren't likely to find canned solutions by googling "how do I do x with y". Learning some basic shell programming and shell commands would be a good start since you can do a lot with a little.
