Hi all,
I'm running on a Sun Solaris machine. I would only want to keep the last 2 most recent files on 1 of my directory. Below shows my script, but it is incomplete. For the ?? part I do not know how to continue. please help  DIR=/tmp/abc OUTPUT=/tmp/output.out OUTPUT1=/tmp/output1.out cd $DIR ls -rt | tail -2 > $OUTPUT ls > $OUTPUT1 cat $OUTPUT1 | while read archive do if [ "$archive" = ?? ]; then echo "Keeping ..." else rm $archive fi done Thank you.
