#!/bin/bash
# usage script.sh <file with the list of files you want to erase>
# notice that rm -rf is used !!! i'm not responsible of this. (just a common tipo)



filewithlist=$1

for file in `cat $filewithlist`
do

rm -rf $file
echo "$file erased"

done

thanks for ur reply, actually my .txt file will have just filenames.
So i need to search for that file in the following sub-directories.

requirement is like search and delete the file
can i do this process in remote server, where i will run script in local and delete files in remote server??
for ur info am using Solaris .

thanks
ashok

I've never used solaris.

anyway, may be you can have the full path of your files , and search for them with locate.

good luck.

Login using ssh

Use find command and delete file. for eg delete all *.tmp file, enter
You can also run command using ssh
