Dave was nice to send me this for clearing cache
!#/bin/bash
for x in `ls /home`; do
echo "Doing $x ..."
cd /home/${x}/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache
rm -Rf *
done
Ok that works just fine. Soooo, If that works for cache, with a little
mod like this
!#/bin/bash
for x in `ls /home`; do
echo "Doing $x ..."
cd /home/${x}/.Trash
rm -Rf *
done
It should clear out the .Trash directory only... right?
I Ran the script and it deleted out the trash, but it also deleted all
non hidden files in the root directory from which I ran the script..
including itself.
I'm sure it is obvious to someone who knows, but I don't see why it is
killing all the files.
Any Help Appreciated
Mark
