I've been trying to get rid of all cores in my home directory
which also contains about 100 sub- and subsub-directories
using find command:
main$ cd
main$ find ./ -name core -exec rm
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -name core -exec rm {}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -name core -exec rm {core}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -name core -exec rm core {}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -exec rm -rf core {}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -exec rm core {}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -name core -exec "rm core"
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$ find ./ -name core -exec "rm core" {}
find: missing argument to `-exec'
main$
Nothing works. I checked find man page and failed to understand
how. Help anyone? Redhat archive search isn't working. :( I have
at least 100 cores sitting all over the place.
