Script to change/find/delete/install a specific file
Hi
Very much a newbie to UNIX & scripting, but have identified an area within work that would benefit from being automated, as its repeated manually very often, and it looks like the ideal first script!
What I need to do is change directory to a users home (cd ~), and then find and remove a specific file (in the format .abcd).
The final part of my script will then be to unpack a cpio package to the users home path.
Although I know the basic Unix commands to do this step by step, i'm unsure as to how this can be interpreted into a shell, to run it automatically.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
