[CentOS] find with exclude directory

[Tim Dunphy]

Thanks. But what if I want to turn that statement into one that will delete
everything it finds? I need to preserve the contents of that directory.

As in : find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name
"*varnish*" -exec rm -rfv {} \;

I'm thinking the grep -v would be a visual thing, but the above statement
would delete everything including the varnish files in the digitalplatform
directory.
