Thanks for the reply m8.
I don't think I explained what I was trying to do correctly, I'm trying to create a shell script that will allow me to find all empty files within my directory tree, list them and then give me the option of deleting them. I would like to be able to get the option of deleting them in the format of :
delete word.doc y/n? :> y
word.doc deleted.
I know some files that are empty are not to be deleted this is why I need to see what I am about to get rid of.
I'm just strating out doing Linux and I've hit a brick wall with this so any help would be appreciated, cheers.

ipsec_config_delete
ipsec_config_delete(1M) ipsec_config_delete(1M)
NAME
ipsec_config_delete - delete configuration records from the HP-UX IPSec configuration database and delete certificate files
SYNOPSIS
object_name
ip_addr
object_name
object_name
object_name
object_name
DESCRIPTION
The command deletes configuration records from the configuration database and certificate data. If HP-UX IPSec is active and running, the
data (IPsec policy, authentication record or bypass list entry) is also deleted from the runtime policy database. If you delete IPsec
policies that have active Security Associations (SAs), HP-UX IPSec removes the SAs from the Security Association Database (SADB) and sends
a delete notification to the remote system. If HP-UX IPSec removes an IKE policy, the associated IPSec SAs can remain active, but no IKE
control messages can be sent.
The command deletes the certificate for the local system and the related private key file from the directory. It does not delete certifi-
cates for CAs or Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). To delete these objects, you must manually delete the files in the directory. You
can use the command to display the file names with the subject names for the CA certificate files and the issuer names for the CRL files.
You cannot delete the configuration object.
Options and Operands
The command recognizes the following options and operands:
object_name
Specifies the name of the object you are deleting.
Do not use this argument when deleting a configuration object.
You cannot delete the host, IKEv1, or IKEv2 policies.
ip_addr
Specifies the IP address of the entry in the bypass list you are deleting.
EXAMPLES
The following command deletes the host IPsec policy named
