Ignoring subdirectories in daily's find_core



Yet another /etc/daily thing:

On a file server, I would like to run find_core, yet I don't want
to descend into people's home directories.

Would something like

ignpaths=""
if [ -n "$find_core_ignore_paths" ]; then
        ignpaths="$(printf " -o -path %s" $find_core_ignore_paths)"
        ignpaths="\\( ${ignpaths# -o } \\) -prune -o"
else
        ignpaths=""
fi

and then adding $ignpaths to the find command be acceptable?
