[cut from here] #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <error.h> // the name of the file to be removed: #define NAME "none" int main(int argc, char *argv[] ) { int ret; int err; ret = unlink(NAME); err = errno; if(ret) { error(0, err, "unlinking '%s'", NAME); } else { printf("'%s' successfully unlinked\n", NAME); } return ret; } [cut to here] Save it as "removing.c", adjust the name of the file you want to remove and run gcc -Wall -Os -o removing removing.c. Than run ./removing to remove the file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
