Hallo, a recent post on misc@ mentioned the following crontab(5) command to remove core files:
@reboot /usr/bin/find ~ -fstype local -name '*.core' -delete ( https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=169303728425504 ) I wondered why I did not use the "-delete" primary but the "-print0 | xargs -0" pipeline, back when I added the cron entry. Thus I change the crontab entry to use "-delete". I have another primary in my parameters to find: "-maxdepth 1". My complete crontab(5) entry reads: /usr/bin/find ~/ -maxdepth 1 -fstype local -name "*.core" -delete Now I get error messages saying "Access Denied" for directories that find(1) should not access due to "-maxdepth 1". (Please do not ask why the user has directories within her/his $HOME that she/he cannot access. :-) Does the "-delete" primary lead to ignoring "-maxdepth 1"? Thanks for your time, Marcus
