chown -R exclude some directory

I want to exclude some large content directory

I'm Using it to chown Directory

chown -R admin /home/admin/web/public_html

is there anyway to exclude a subdirectory under html

Like:

chown -R admin exclude=/home/admin/web/public_html/content /home/admin/web/public_html

Something like that

Thanks

You can to use a script with a loop, similar to this:

path_list=$(find /home/admin/web/public_html)

for path in $path_list
do
   if test $path != "/home/admin/web/public_html/content"
   then
       chown -R admin $path
   fi
done
