[K12OSN] Script to flush down the drain files from every user home...

[Huck]

The succinct way would be
  cd /home/${x}/.Trash && rm -rf *
(&& means continue if the previous command succeeded)
or just
rm -rf /home/${x}/.Trash/*
as long as the expansion fits in the command line size limit.


that's a quote from Les(from a different scripting question)... you are 
correct Robert!
