I have been trying to work out the syntax to use prune but so far havent been successful.
What I am trying to accomplish is to list all files with -mtime -3 except for certain directories, (/dev, /proc, db, lost+found). I am sure that I am misunderstanding the man pages, but even the archives here and google havent cleared up what it is that I dont understand.
I have tried dozens of variations with varying degrees of output but no success.
find / -mtime -3 -wholename '/db' -prune -wholename '/dev' -prune -wholename '/proc' -prune
This one produces only two lines of output "/dev", "/proc".
find / \( -type d -regex "/dev" -prune \) -o \( -type d -regex "/proc" -prune \) -o \( -type d -regex "/media" -prune \) -type f -mtime -3
Could someone give me a clue as to how to accomplish this, I really am lost right now.

bootchart
BOOTCHART(1) General Commands Manual BOOTCHART(1)
NAME
bootchart - render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd
SYNOPSIS
bootchart [-f|--format FORMAT] [-n|--no-prune] [-o|--output-dir DIR] files ...
DESCRIPTION
bootchart is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default). bootchart builds the process tree
and renders a performance chart in different formats. The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency and overall resource
utilization.
OPTIONS
-f,--format FORMAT
Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)
-h, --help
Display brief usage message.
-n, --no-prune
Do not prune the process tree. To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various
techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.). This option disables such behavior.
-o, --output-dir DIR
Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)
-v, --version
Show program version.
FILES
/var/log/bootchart.tgz
the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).
