Shell Script Required!
Hi people,
I am new to this forum. I have taken unix this semester in my college and i am new to it. I am finding shell scripting a bit hard and i need a little help.
I require a shell script to delete files that end as .bak , .BAK, #, ~ and files with the name core.The Script should accept a command a line argument the name of the starting directory in either absolute or relative notation. For example if the present working directory is /home and we wanted to process the directory /home/vats then the command line could be :
cleanup /home/vats or
cleanup vats or
cleanup ./vats
All of them should work.
Can anyone please help me...
Thanks
Vats

dbus-cleanup-sockets
dbus-cleanup-sockets(1) General Commands Manual dbus-cleanup-sockets(1)
NAME
dbus-cleanup-sockets - clean up leftover sockets in a directory
SYNOPSIS
dbus-cleanup-sockets [DIRECTORY]
DESCRIPTION
The dbus-cleanup-sockets command cleans up unused D-Bus connection sockets. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more informa-
tion about the big picture.
If given no arguments, dbus-cleanup-sockets cleans up sockets in the standard default socket directory for the per-user-login-session mes-
sage bus; this is usually /tmp. Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.
On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D-Bus defaults to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have
a corresponding file in /tmp.
On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to leak when programs using D-Bus exit abnormally or without closing
their D-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run dbus-cleanup-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets. Or you can
just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"
