Hi thanks again reborg and Hitori, I have the command workign now, its
I was using the semi-colon in the wrong place and had quotes I didnt need
but I don't think rmdir works anyway as it dosent delete the directories as when they contain any other directories, is this still possible? can I reverese find to delete from the one at the bottom rather than the top of the hierarchy?
Hey man, look closely at rmdir(1) rmdir -p solves your problem while if you have for instance directories a/b/c, then rmdir a, rmdir a/b will be failed but rmdir a/b/c will remove a, b and c directories
My code is about done, I have trouble with a for loop in the highlighted statement, it works fine for directories with contents but it I am moving an empty directory with options -ri and specified it fails, in fact my whole program fails because of this, say if I enter nothing but a file agrument then it wont delete, the problem lies within the highlighted function.
can you advise me further on why its behaving like this?
I have my problems fixed, the only problem that still remains is that if the file isnt a directory and options r and i are not set then its not passing through the function to the else statement which should then pass to writePro function, it seems to be just existing.

I've created a wxpython gui for the shred command. I can successfully mix and match all the shred options except two: -size and --random-source. (Man page definitions below). -size and --random-source seem to only work when they are used as the sole option passed.
For example,

Hi experts.
We have a HP-Unix server, we deleted some files and folders from the server. Is there any utilities that we can use to ensure those deleted files and folders are not recoverable? We used rm command to delete these files.
