My current non-working solution is below. Any ideas, anyone?? Script to delete files. I have a local linux machine in which the files are dumped by a remote ubuntu server. If the process in remote server has any problem then empty files are created in local machine. Is there any way using perl script to check if the empty files are being created and delete them and then run a shell I have directories named: 0 - which should contain files named 0 - But some of these directories contain file whose names are greater than and I need to delete those.

MarcoZen MarcoZen 1, 18 18 silver badges 26 26 bronze badges. Hi MarcoZen. Why does it create three log files with the first two having no content and the last file having the list of files deleted.
What can I do so that the find and delete command doesn't generate multiple files? FokwaBest - Could be you created anoher log file? Are u using the above code fully? Can u pastebin for me to check? After removing this part, everything is written to one file. FokwaBest - Interesting I dont have that problem.. Good that u have solved it. I think you are calling this script several times?
To the anonymous editor : Which version if find has a -rm-rf option?
