    Hello,
     
    thanks for all your answers, but i must admit i wasn't very clear on
    this one..
    Most people adviced me to pipe the output :
    find /var -type f -mtime +1 | head -1
     
    Ok, this gives me only one file, and that's what i'm doing right now,
    but it doesn't stop after finding one file..
    The purpose of the question was to 'exit' after one hit.
    Maybe it's not possible with the find command, but let me ask the
    question
    somehow different :
     
    I want to find on every filesystem just one file that's older than one
    day.
    Once the first file is found, stop searching and go on with the next
    filesystem
    The above find command gives a lot of overhead because it keeps going
    through
    the whole filesystem...
    Searching a file with the above command gives a lot of overhead, because
    the find
    command returns ALL files.
     
    Regards,
    Guy
