Hi,

I need a small help in find command. Actually i want to search for a directory say 'x'. but it also give some unwanted information also as below
like permission denied.... I just need the directory path if present.

command : find /home -name 'x' -type d -print

find: cannot read dir /home/lost+found: Permission denied
find: cannot read dir /home/jgreiner/powerctrv712/.ssh: Permission denied
find: cannot read dir /home/jgreiner/powerctrv712/powerex5.2.1/logs/: Permission denied
