cron job question

[mrlayance]

I have the following .sh file running every hour

#
rm /home/website/mail/thebase.com/lance/spam

I have ran a few different tests with folders and files with extension, I just can't get this cron job to remove a file without a extension.

don't you need rm -r to remove the spam directory

OR

rm /home/website/mail/thebase.com/lance/spam/*

to remove all the files in directory spam

 

[ugh]

You might want to add the -f parameter to force deletion.

man rm
