To delete content of many file

This won't work so well for multiple truncations....
$ > 11*
bash: 11*: ambiguous redirect
Is provided when using any of the methods mentioned above. I think the redirection needs specific filename as it can be used to change create new files too.....
May not be as easy as above..... definitely would be a way with a for loop - however surely there is an easier way????? And I'm not even gonna try the for loop for you as I'm more likely to win a grammy than get it working...

smd-loop
smd-loop(1) Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation smd-loop(1) NAME
smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push SYNOPSIS
smd-loop [-vt] DESCRIPTION
smd-loop runs smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing. The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields: pull-frequency, push-frequency and end- point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with # are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes, and smd-push default every 10. Example: # pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name 3 10 default OPTIONS
-v Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr) -t Just create a template configuration file if none FILES
