My problem is I can't remove a non empty directory because there's no "-r" option in "rmdir". How can I have a recursive function ?
Thanks for the report. However, this is unlikely to be changed in 'rmdir', because POSIX already standardized 'rm -r' as the way to recursively remove directories. So many people are used to 'rm -r' doing what you are asking for, that adding an extension of 'rmdir -r' as an alternative would only cause confusion, not to mention that the extension would not be available everywhere like 'rm -r' already is.
