i want to compile a list of files in all sub directories but exclude the current directory.
the closest i could get was to search 'only' the current directory, which is the opposite of what i wanted.

Hi Forum.
I'm trying to write a script that finds and deletes files that are older than 300 days. The script will read a table that contains the following 3 columns:
1st col: “Y” means sub-directory scan; "N" means no subdirectory scan
2nd col: sub-directory location
3rd col: File prefix... (7 Replies)
Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a shell script which will be ran under cron hourly and will check for files of specific age in my ftp folder, then moves those over inside a folder called "old" (which is within the ftp dir). But, I'm unable to figure out how to exclude the "old" folder when... (1 Reply)
Hi All,
First my OS version is:

I had a Shell script that removes the files that are in a directory older than the specified days.
find /test/files -mtime +10
I would like to add another condition to the find command above that is to exclude any file starting with ‘CGU'
Thanks (1 Reply)
hello,
i want to use "-depth" in command "find" and want to exclude a directory.
the find command should work in HP-UX and Linux.
i see in the find man page:
-prune
If -depth is not given, true; do not descend the current directory.
If -depth is given, false; no effect.

bup-margin
bup-margin(1) General Commands Manual bup-margin(1)NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin
SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...]
DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two
entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids.
For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit
hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by
its first 46 bits.
The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits,
that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits
with far fewer objects.
If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if
you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits.
OPTIONS --predict
Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer
from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm.
--ignore-midx
don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict.
EXAMPLE
$ bup margin
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
40
40 matching prefix bits
1.94 bits per doubling
120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining
4.19338e+18 times larger is possible
Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets
like yours, all in one repository, and we would
expect 1 object collision.
$ bup margin --predict
PackIdxList: using 1 index.
Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done.
