Shell Programming and Scripting

I am looking a script which will find garbase directories (10 char. long)..which need to delete empty dir excluding symlink and system directories.
I tried this partial script but it just find directories create a file which contains link directories..can somebody help me to complete this scripts.

!#/usr/bin/sh

for dir in $(find / -type d -name '??????????')
do ll $dir | grep ^l > /home/user/linklist
if [ ls $dir eq 0 ] then rmdir $dir # not sure abt this line
done

Define "system directories". Also, doing a find of "/" will take a very long time and you may not have permissions depending on your access.

You may wait to use

Code:

-fstype ext3

to avoid any problems.

HI have super access , i want to exclude directories they have link jusyt want to delete empty directories with 10 charactor long

Be very careful when you run this.

First identify what the directories are:

Code:

find / -name "??????????" -type d -empty -ls

Then delete (be careful, I am warning you)

Code:

find / -name "??????????" -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

getting error..

find / -name '??????????' -type d -empty -ls
find: 0652-017 -empty is not a valid option.
