That's not sufficient, because /usr/local may be mounted ro, and therefore the command may fail even if the directory is empty. rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /usr/local/lib/foo || true or maybe just rmdir /usr/local/lib/foo 2>/dev/null || true Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
