find / ! -path "/home" -name "*thing*"
Gives:
find: bad option -path
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
It seems like some options in find in Solaris 10 don't behave like they do on Linux. For example, to negate something, I need to do "!" instead of "-not". Essentially my problem is I'm trying to find something but exclude a directory because of how long it would take to traverse it. However, I can't do this if I can't specify a path to exclude.
It's strange how -name works but -path doesn't. I'm quite happy to use an alternative to find if it gets the job done ofc.
When man fails you ask Google.....
"solaris find exclude path" yields
