I fear that you should either 'cd' to the directory (~/.fluxbox I
suppose) you want to clear before running my code or change it this
way

if [  `ls -1 ~/fluxbox/menu-* | wc -l` -gt 7 ]
then
     ls -t ~/fluxbox/menu-* | tail $((7-`ls | wc -l`)) | xargs rm
fi

ls returned an error because it did not find any file matching
"menu-*" in the current directory.
