Find but exclude directories
Hello,
I have a line in my script to find the files changed in the last 24 hours. It is as below:
find /home/hary -type f -mtime -1
I now want to exclude a directory named "/home/hary/temp/cache" from the above find command. How do I add it to my script?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hary
