I am writing my first shell script to do the following:
Find all occurrences of a directory from the pwd
Delete the directory (which is a hidden directory)
Provide feedback w/ the number of directories deleted
The problems I am having are two-fold:
The user may not have the appropriate privileges to delete the directory
grep -c counts the total number of lines returned, rather than the total number of unique occurrences of the directory
For example, I want to let the user know how my directories called "delete_me" were deleted. If the directory structure is /.delete_me/subdir1/subdir2, grep -c returns "3" (/.delete_me, /.delete_me/subdir1, and /.delete_me/subdir1/subdir2). I want to tell the user that 1 directory called ".delete_me" was deleted. How can this be done?
My other problem deals w/ the user not having privileges to delete the directory, or getting feedback on all the directories accessed during the "find" that they don't have permission to read. Ideally, the script would be run w/ root privileges, but I can only get it to run w/ the privileges assigned to the user running the script.
A copy of my code is below. I am just testing, so right now I am not deleting any directories, just finding them and printing to stdout.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
