HP-UX find command unable to remove files from directories multiple levels deep

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

Since you have given a "bunny" at this point, suggesting a solution to your problem, what exactly was the solution?

Regards!

Hi All

Thank you all for your valuable comments.
Dennis Handly's suggestion of cd to the directory and remove the files from CWD worked. It was a bit of a workaround, but it worked.
Here is what I have changed in the script.


find "$direc" -type f >> ${REMOVEFILE_LIST}

while read FILE2REMOVE
do
echo "File --- "
echo "$FILE2REMOVE"
echo " "
cd $(dirname "$FILE2REMOVE")
ls -l "$(basename "$FILE2REMOVE")"
rm "$(basename "$FILE2REMOVE")"
ls -l "$(basename "$FILE2REMOVE")"
done < ${REMOVEFILE_LIST}
