Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to get the maximum directory nesting,
starting from the specified base, using standard Linux commands only
(no php/perl/python etc.)?

e.g. if the directory structure is as follows -
d1
->d2
->->d3
->->->d4
->d5
->->d6

I need a shell script which will give me the answer "4" (i.e. depth of
the deepest directory - d4).

Googling has given me no answers and I am not sure if it can even be
done elegantly in bash/sed/awk etc.
