How to exclude a directory in find . command

Question

I\'m trying to run a find command for all JavaScript files, but how do I exclude a specific directory?

Here is the find code we\'re using.<

Answer 1

For what I needed it worked like this, finding landscape.jpg in all server starting from root and excluding the search in /var directory:

find / -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v /var | xargs -I '{}' find '{}' -name landscape.jpg

find / -maxdepth 1 -type d lists all directories in /

grep -v /var excludes `/var' from the list

xargs -I '{}' find '{}' -name landscape.jpg execute any command, like find with each directory/result from list
