Hey guys,
Sorry not sure what's wrong with this statement. I've tried a few
variations of trying to exclude the /var/www directory.
[root@224432-24 apr-1.5.1]# find / -name "*httpd*" -type d \( ! -name
www \)
/usr/lib/httpd
/usr/lib64/httpd
/var/www/vhosts/johnnyenglish/httpdocs
/var/www/lpaddevbkp/alchemist/namespace/system-config-httpd
/var/www/lpaddevbkp/httpd
Well, no name that matches "*httpd*" will also match "www", so that last
term will never match. What you want is the "prune" action:
find / -name www -prune -o -name "*httpd*"
Or use -path instead of -name.
Your original find statement should work with the -path test.
find / -name "*httpd*" -type d \( ! -path /var/www \)
but combining it with -prune is more efficient since it excludes the
whole directory tree instead of individually excluding each file.
find / -path /var/www -prune -o -name "*httpd*"
