it's not at all obvious to me how to do this within a FAI hook/postinst without breaking the rest of the current softupdate run. How about this: if STDOUT is a terminal, prompt the user whether to rm -rf, otherwise abort with an error? Of course we should also check for the case of just an empty directory, which can be safely deleted. Regards, Michael
