Ouch! That may well have deleted any other files with a name ending in f, while leaving the file -f still there! [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ touch ./-f ae af ag be bf bg [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ ls -f ae af ag be bf bg [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ echo *f -f af bf [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ rm *f [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ ls -f ae ag be bg Easiest way to remove the file -f is: rm ./-f Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
