[K12OSN] Help with a script

[Doug Simpson]

Why remove the .mozilla directory if it is empty and/or will just be re-created on the next run?

Just wondering. . .

Good use of find.

Can we simplify this to a one-liner?  I believe you said you wanted the 
.mozilla directory and all contents deleted?
The above will leave the .mozilla directory in place.

find /home_student -name .mozilla -exec rm -Rf {} \;
