Need to find the inode number of a file and delete it.

[Andre Lemon]

I have done a ll -i to get the inode for a
file, now i need to delete it, how do i do that?



1262 -rw------- 1 root root 100575232 Apr 28 04:54 1m

Thanks

Hi,

I believe you want to check the inode that you have and then remove the file having the particular inode.

So, here goes -

inode=

ls -i | grep $inode | rm -i `awk {print $2}`

HTH.

(Let me know if I am way off track.)
