I don't mean to be a wet towel here, but why does everyone want to
remove these files with a script, dangerous at best. I listed a
simple function yesterday to find all these nasty core files and
a suggested way to not create anymore of them. Once you have found
all of then remove them manually. This seems like the best way to
go INHO.
Again the function for a .bashrc file:
function ff { find . -name "$*" -print; }
Also add this to the same file so as not to create anymore core files:
ulimit -c 0
Just my .02
