Stuck with a simple find problem
Hi,

Need some simple find help.

I need to search for all .so files within sol directory.

My directory tree has mix of directories and i want to search only inside sol directory.

I could get this done combining find with for, any option to do this with find alone.

for a in `find . -type d -name solaris`; do ls $a/*.so 2>/dev/null; done;

       erence pages in /usr/share/man/man1 with source files in /usr/src/cmd, enter: whereis -u -M /usr/share/man/man1 
	       -S /usr/src/cmd -f /usr/bin/* To find which files in the current directory either have no reference pages in the default  reference
       directories or have more than one, enter: whereis -m -u *
