So I was in the sipb office today, and a user came needing help. She
had logged in, and gotten the message about netscape eating her quota,
then tried to type the commands as suggested. Suddenly nothing worked.
She had meant to type "rm -rf ~/.netscape/cache" but had actually
typed "rm -rf ~ /.netscape/cache" As many users seem confused about
where to put spaces, and where not to, I suggest changing the message
from:
14:15 **** Netscape is eating 5751K of your quota! ****
14:15 To correct, this situation, quit Netscape, and then run
14:15 add infoagents
14:15 netscape-fix
14:15 rm -rf ~/.netscape/cache
to:
14:15 **** Netscape is eating 5751K of your quota! ****
14:15 To correct, this situation, quit Netscape, and then run
14:15 add infoagents
14:15 netscape-fix
14:15 cd
14:15 rm -rf .netscape/cache
