So, what command can a run against that file to deleteall the files listed in it? Or since I know that fdupes -f works, could I just do something like: fdupes -f ./ | rm * or would that rm everything?The latter. Try xargs(1), e.g., fdupes -f ./ | xargs rm
This is strange. I used: fdupes -f ./ | xargs rm and it worked great!!!Now I need to do the same thing for another mail directory, so I moved into it and issued the same command and I get:
rm: too few arguments Try `rm --help' for more information. What's up with that?
