How to find files only inside the subdirectories?
Hi

I have a directory with two subdirectories and also have a code like below to search files modified in last 2 minutes.

Code:
[root@rn4001 clue]# ls
hello080909.txt  inbox  outbox
[root@rn4001 clue]# find . -type f -mmin +2
./inbox/hello2080909.txt
./outbox/hi0080909.txt
./hello080909.txt

The above code just searches and finds files inside the current directory.

How to find files only inside the sub directories excluding the current directory ie i just want to find files inside the sub directories inbox and outbox not the current directory clue?
