use maxdepth option with find

3

man find shows the following

-maxdepth levels
              Descend  at  most  levels (a non-negative integer) levels of directories below the command line arguments.  
              '-maxdepth 0' means only apply the tests and actions to the command line arguments.

Hi All,
I am using like this.But its saying maxdepth is not valid option. "find: 0652-017 -maxdepth 0 is not a valid option"

find /home/n1013141/vijay  '-maxdepth 0'  -type f -mmin -60

Please help me

find /home/n1013141/vijay -maxdepth 1  -type f -mmin -60

It appears that your find implementation doesn't support the -maxdepth predicate. Fortunately, you can accomplish this task without it:

find /home/n1013141/vijay -type f -mmin -6 -print -o -type d ! \( -name vijay -exec test {} = /home/n1013141/vijay \; \) -prune
