Re: [coLinux-users] rm -fr

[Jason A. <ja...@co...>]

In the short term, here's a short work around script. Of course, be
careful... I've not tested this, but it should achieve the same
effect.

#!/bin/bash
TREE=$1
if [ ! -d $TREE ]; then
  echo "$TREE is not a directory."
  exit
fi
find $TREE -not -type d | xargs rm -f
rmdir -p $TREE
