Hi all,
I wrote a bash script to run as a cron job which removes those pesky files
emacs leaves behind. Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
find / \( -name a.out -o -name core -o -name '*~' \
-o -name '.*~' -o -name '#*#' \) -type f -atime +10 \
-exec rm { } \; -o -fstype nfs -prune -o -path /mnt/win95c -prune \
-o -path /mnt/win95d -prune -o -path /mnt/win95e -prune
exit 0
If I run this find command at a bash shell prompt everything works fine
but if I place it in a script I get errors about can't find whatever file.
If I replace -exec with -ok rm prompts me to remove the correct files but I
still get an error after it tries to remove each file. Any ideas?
Thanks,
