Hi everyone, i'd like someone chechk this script, i know it's very simple but it doesn't work good, let me tell you this script works over huge directories, maybe that's the problem, if somebody can give me other way to develop, or show me where it's the problem, i'll appreciate it.
This may be due to the ARG_MAX... every server (OS) has its own kernel limit set to argument length if it goes beyond that (that might be the case your rm command facing)..
i'm working with Red Hat 5 Enterprise, i understand what you mean, but how i can find out what to? My boss ask me for some script which do that, it was very simple, but i just a beginner.
Could you help me?
xargs can execute the command supplying some initial arguments directly, and reading the remaining arguments from standard input (or piped input).
xargs passes arguments to command in several bundles, this allows command to process more arguments than it could normally handle at once

-name can match files like you were doing inside the shell, without having to match inside the shell, avoiding the 'too many arguments' problem. Putting it in single quotes prevents the shell from trying to expand it too soon.
Using '+' instead of ';' will cause it to put as many files as it can into each rm call instead of running rm 10,000 individual times for 10,000 individual files, which will make it more efficient.
Remove the echo once you've tested and are sure it does what you want.

Hi Corona, as usually, your solution are the best, i got the idea, but your way produce me others doubts, for example the "\" with that spaces at the end of each line, for what are they?
The other question, if i use this code just like you put it on, show, or print me, it works?
Just one line to delete at the end?
And the last one, why should i remove the echo?

I've made an awk command that works successfully.
However I'd like to add one character to it.
For example instead of /what_i_have_now/
