How to replace find -maxdepth option in Solaris Operating System using -prone

 In linux we normally use the option -maxdepth with the find command to report all files and links in the currect directory, not recursively
 
for example:-
find /some/directory/ -maxdepth 1 -type f -name *.log
 
 But when we use the same in Oralce Solaris OS, the command will give error as maxdepth is not an option recogonized in the system.
We can replace it with -prone and the syntax is as follows:-

find /some/directory/* -prune -type f -name *.log
 
 this should also work with IBM-AIX OS

As it can't configured in my.cnf, change the user profile as:- ALTER USER 'mysqlUsername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'mysqlUs...

Most probably when the script is created in Windows and transferred to Linux. The script might have a dos line ending file. The clue is the ^M Inorder to resolve this error: Open the script in Linux using vim editor,  enter in vi command mode (key ESC), then type this: : set fileformat = unix   Finally save it :x! or :wq! Thats it! Try running the script again and the error would have disappeared.
