Exit Status Of Find Command
Hello All,
I am trying to capture the exit status of find command and want to delete the files only when it is successful. But it is always returning me as success even if the pattern of that file doesn't exist in the current directory. please help, checked manual page but couldn't able to figure out.

Code:
#!/bin/bash -x
logit()
{
 echo "[${USER}][`date`] - ${*}" >> ${LOG_FILE}
}

LOG_FILE=/home/infrmtca/bin/findtest.log


if  find . -type f -name "*xyz*"
then
        logit "Success"
        find . -type f -name "*xyz*" -delete
else
        logit "Failure"
fi

Code:
[infrmtca][Mon Jun  3 10:18:10 EDT 2013] - Success

Tried this statement as well but it is always 0.
Code:
find . -type f -name "*xyz*" -exec ls {} \;

Thank you.

condor_rmdir

condor_rmdir(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   condor_rmdir(1)

Name
       condor_rmdir Windows - only no-fail deletion of directories

Synopsis
       condor_rmdir [/HELP | /?]

       condor_rmdir@filename

       condor_rmdir[/VERBOSE] [/DIAGNOSTIC] [/PATH:<path>] [/S] [/C] [/Q] [/NODEL] directory

Description
       condor_rmdircan delete a specified directory, and will not fail if the directory contains files that have ACLs that deny the SYSTEM process
       delete access, unlike the built-in Windows rmdircommand.

       The directory to be removed together with other command line arguments may be specified within a file named filename, prefixing this  argu-
       ment with an  @ character.

       The  condor_rmdir.exeexecutable is is intended to be used by Condor with the /S/Coptions, which cause it to recurse into subdirectories and
       continue on errors.

Options
       /HELP

	  Print usage information.

       /?

	  Print usage information.

       /VERBOSE

	  Print detailed output.

       /DIAGNOSTIC

	  Print out the internal flow of control information.

       /PATH:<path>

	  Remove the directory given by <path>.

       /S

	  Include subdirectories in those removed.

       /C

	  Continue even if access is denied.

       /Q

	  Print error output only.

       /NODEL

	  Do not remove directories. ACLs may still be changed.

Exit Status
       condor_rmdirwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the standard HRESULT error code upon failure.
