How I do find only directories (not files) that are soft links using the find command?
 
Something like:
Code:
find . -type l | xargs -i sh -c 'if [ -d {} ] ; then echo {} ; fi'
Cheers, Neil :-)
 
Thank you! Can you explain what the xargs -i sh -c .. does as I havent come across this syntax before.
