Have you tried rm *?.ksh?

I can't do that... I'm on a production box and don't think deleting all the ksh scripts would go down to well...

I managed to get it deleted in the end up. I have hummingbird exceed installed and was able to log on to the box using the ftp feature... I saw the file there and it was called test.ksh

A round about way but hey it worked....

Thanks for all your help guys...

you can run the following:

ls -li to identify the inode of the offending file so in thi instance lets say the inum is = 3146101

# ls -li test*

3146101 -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 9996 Feb 23 15:44 test.ksh

then you can use the find command to remove this:

find . -xdev -inum 3146101 -exec rm {} \;

sorted!
