How can I access home directory in a shell script.

I am writing a script which will delete the log files in each of the user's directory

Krishan

The easiest way would be with find

find /home -type f -name "log_i_want_to_delete.log" -exec rm {} \;

of course, depending on OS, home dirs might be under /export/home

If there are only a few users, and the log is always in the same place, a simple

cd /home && rm */whatever.log

would do it.
