I think that something like this would work if you just want the full names
of the core files:
find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core | egrep -v '^/rem'
This just takes the output from the find command, sends it to the egrep
program which will print all the lines that don't begin with /rem. This
output should have just the files that you were looking for.
On my system, the command
find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core
prints
/usr/menus/d1/core
/usr/menus/cntrl/core
/usr/menus/overlays/core
/usr/menus/trends/core
/core
/rem/AW0001
/rem/AW0002
/rem/WP0001
/rem/WP0002
and the command
find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core | egrep -v '^/rem'
prints
/usr/menus/d1/core
/usr/menus/cntrl/core
/usr/menus/overlays/core
/usr/menus/trends/core
/core
Of course, if you want to delete the core files, try:
find / -fstype urfs -prune -o -name core -print -exec rm {} \;
the -print means print the file names (this happens by default if find is
not told to do anything with the files it finds, which is why it prints them
without it in the previous examples)
the -exec rm {} \; means execute rm with the file name in place of the {}.
The \; terminates the -exec command.
WARNING!! Be carefull! Using -exec rm {} with find can be hazardous to you
hard drive! If you try something like
#don't do this!!
find / -name 'r*' -print -exec rm {} \;
#don't do this
You can make your system unusable. Try just printing out the files found
first. If the list looks good, try the same find command with the -exec
option.

I am missing something here. This does not do what I want. Envision that
the
output of this command is to be passed to rm for periodic file cleanup. I
wnat
to kill the core files, but not /rem/761A02 for instance.
I must not be staeing the problem description clearly. Let me try again.
I want to search all _locally_ mounted filesystems, skiping all remotely
mounted (NFS URFS, whatever) filesystems, without getting all the error
messages from mangled symlinks within the /rem tree, that you will get
from:
find / 0name core -print.
I wish to do this _without having to lookup what file-systems are mounted
(in
the /etc/fstab file for instance).
Does that make it clearer?
