this command is so dangerous, if string is not defined correctly (empty), the whole three folders will be deleted directly without any prompt by "rm -rf"

try this

Code:
string=abc
for folder in /lustre/fs/scratch/user /home/user /archive/user
do
  find $folder -type d -name "$string" -exec rm -rf {} \;
done

SYNOPSIS

       plpat(nlin, inc, del)

DESCRIPTION

       Sets the area fill pattern.  The pattern consists of 1 or 2 sets of parallel lines with specified inclinations and spacings.  The arguments
       to this routine are the number of sets to use (1 or 2) followed by two pointers to integer arrays (of  1  or  2	elements)  specifying  the
       inclinations in tenths of a degree and the spacing in micrometers.  (also see plpsty(3plplot))

       Redacted form:  General: plpat(inc, del) Perl/PDL: plpat(nlin, inc, del)

       This function is used in example 15.

ARGUMENTS

       nlin (PLINT, input)
	      Number of sets of lines making up the pattern, either 1 or 2.

       inc (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the line inclination in tenths of a degree.  (Should be between -900 and 900).

       del (PLINT *, input)
	      Pointer to array with nlin elements. Specifies the spacing in micrometers between the lines making up the pattern.
