What were you trying to do?
purge
What's wrong:
Output:
-------
:
:
purge: /afs/athena/user/t/timkwan/News: Not a directory
:
:
What should have happened:
It should have done the purge! /afs/athena/user/t/timkwan/News is
clearly a valid "directory":
athena% ls -d ~/News
/afs/athena/user/t/timkwan/News
Actually /afs/athena/user/t/timkwan is a symlink to
/afs/athena/user/t/i/timkwan. So I guess purge doesn't recognize
symlinks!
