Can Anybody help me in this for deleting the mails. rm might have a problem taking 100000 filenames on the command line. The files are usually numbered with a common prefix. Try deleting them in sets of 100-500. Its tedious but it'll get the job done. If you're a scripter, writing a one-line Perl script will do you wonders. hth, Zainul. > >regds, >Anand > > >-- >http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers -- Zainul M Charbiwala http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~zainul/ -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
