Suggestion for find

[Mark Douglas]

This aint a bug report, but info find told me to send suggestions here. I
suggest that a command line argument (call it --supress, for the sake
of, aha, argument) be implemented that suppresses all non-fatal error
messages. I would like this as I often use find in shell scripts to
automate the nuking of core files, temp files >28days etc. I often find
that the messages such as '/proc/5/fd: Permission denied' cause my
programs, and in fact my random file searches (I cant be bothered setting
up 'updatedb' for locate, as im lasy) to do weird things. So, oh
benevolent programmer, I would find it most useful. You know what I mean;
you type something like 'find / -name ymessenger -print' only for the
program i'm after to be snowed under with '/root: Permission denied'.
Anyway, thanks for reading this,
-Mark
