I agree with "pt14". The construct doesn't ignore the correct files.

Try this construct which should do if there are no non-files called "mystops*":

Code:
ls -1td mystops* 2>/dev/null | sed -n '3,$ p' | while read FILENAME
do
     echo rm "${FILENAME}"
done


Check carefully before removing the "echo".
