Operating Systems Solaris Accessing the home directory in shell script Post 72524 by zazzybob on Saturday 21st of May 2005 12:41:30 AM

The easiest way would be with find

find /home -type f -name "log_i_want_to_delete.log" -exec rm {} \;

of course, depending on OS, home dirs might be under /export/home

If there are only a few users, and the log is always in the same place, a simple

cd /home && rm */whatever.log

would do it.
