Correct. If it's a whole directory (tree) that needs removing then I find mv dir dir.o ; mkdir dir ; chown ##:## dir; chmod ### dir ; rm -r dir.o & type stuff works just fine; the rm can chunk along in the background while there's now a nice clean empty directory for the application. -- rgds Stephen _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
