[PHP] simple command help
Hi all, What's the command to use if I want to remove all the directories and files except 'a.gz' under a directory? Thanks in advance. Regards, Shelley -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] simple command help
What's the command to use if I want to remove all the directories and
files except 'a.gz' under a directory?
There isn't one. If you're using *nix, you could try this:
exec('find ! -name a.gz -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -rf {} \;');
Or something like that. If you're on Windows you'll need someone else... :-)

rm -fR /path
sudo chattr -i /path/to/a.gz
If you have sudo access (or straight root access, in which case
you can su - to root and skip the 'sudo' part of the command), that
will set the file attribute to immutable, which means no one -
including root or the system itself - can modify or delete that file
unless they have the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability (such as root) and
issue the 'chattr -i filename' command.
