Controlling depth with find
I have the following script:
Quote:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export MDIR=$PS_HOME/datafiles
if [[ -f $MDIR/bldtuout.txt ]]; then
rm $MDIR/bldtuout.txt
fi
if [[ -f $MDIR/bldterr.txt ]]; then
rm $MDIR/bldterr.txt
fi
NAME=$1
SERVER=$2
DIRECTORY=$3
DATABASE=$4
ID=$5
echo "*" $NAME $DATABASE $DIRECTORY $SERVER >> $MDIR/bldtuout.txt
/usr/bin/ssh -q $ID@$SERVER "find $DIRECTORY -type d -exec du -ks {} \;" >> $MDIR/bldtuout.txt 2>> $MDIR/bldterr.txt
Now they have added on a new requirement, they only want to go to a certain depth in the directories returned. How do I code it to only go say 3 directories deeper than $DIRECTORY?
