 Unix Tip #4048- March 12, 2012
 
REMOVING CORES CONDITIONALLY  
  
To find and remove core files  
conditionally:  
  
PROMPT> find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;  
  
The File will show which  
executable the core file is  
for and the -i option to rm  
will allow you to choose  
weather to delete it or not.  
  
################# EXAMPLE ###############################  
PROMPT>  find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;  
/my/home/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'netscape-commun'  
(signal 3), Intel 8  
rm: remove `/my/home/core'? y
