As others have pointed out because if "/tmp/kde-kline/file1.wav
/tmp/kde-kline/file2.wav" is found the -s will fail because $wav isn't a
single file. Or it could be that your escaped wildcards are staying
escaped.
I use something like this to move files out of a Maildir:
#!/bin/sh
for i in /tmp/kde-kline/*wav
do
# if nothing or nonsense was found then $i won't exist
if [ -e $i ]
then
echo "Found " $i
/bin/rm $i
fi
done
But why do it the hard way?
#!/bin/sh
/bin/rm /tmp/kde-kline/*wav > /dev/null 2>&1
