         Hi,

                I'm searching on a way to 'limit' a find command to the
first match.
                For example :
                find /var -type f -mtime +1
                This lists ALL files in var older than one day..and
gives a lot of overhead because
                i only want to find the FIRST file in that filesystem
that's older than one day..
                 
                Any ideas ?
                 
                Regards,
                Guy
