I can use -s
in grep
to suppress errors, but I don't see an equivalent for the find
command in the man page... Is the only option to redirect STDERR>/dev/null?
Or is there an option that handles this? (open to fancy awk
and perl
solutions if needed)
Example:
$ for dir in `ls /mnt/16_c/`; do find /mnt/16_c/$dir/data/ -mtime +180 -type f -exec echo {} \;; done
find: `/mnt/16_c/test_container/dat/': No such file or directory
You can redirect stderr
with 2>/dev/null
, for example:
find /mnt/16_c/$dir/data/ -mtime +180 -type f -exec echo {} \; 2>/dev/null
Btw, the code in your question can be replaced with:
find /mnt/16_c/*/data/ -mtime +180 -type f 2>/dev/null
And if there is at least one matching directory,
then you don't even need to suppress stderr
,
because find
will only search in directories that match this pattern.
