title: How do I find all of the symlinks in a directory tree?
body: <p>I'm trying to find all of the symlinks within a directory tree for my website. I know that I can use <code>find</code> to do this but I can't figure out how to recursively check the directories.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find /var/www/ -type l
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>&hellip; and later I discovered that the contents in <code>/var/www</code> are symlinks, so I've changed the command to: </p>
  
  <pre><code>find -L /var/www/ -type l
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it take a while to run, however I'm getting no matches.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I get this to check subdirectories?</strong></p>
