I cannot give extra clear command, but I thing following step should a resolution :

1.find the files which have exe attribute under /home/project
2.del the files , could get them from piple.

Hi,

try these lines

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for name in `tree -ifp | grep "\[-..x" | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f2`
do
rm $name
done

Quote:

tree -ifp

will give you list of all dirs recursively including all subdirectories with FAP and relative pathname

Quote:

grep "\[-..x"

will fetch only executable files from FAP with relative pathname

Quote:

tr -s " "

will squeeze the space between the two columns i.e. FAP and path to file.

Quote:

cut -d " " -f2

will fetch the second column i.e. relative path and filename.

these filenames with relative pathname are saved in

Quote:

name

variable and then the

Quote:

rm

command removes those file.

Try and see..

Gopal
