Hmm. I was having trouble trying to feed 'xargs' it's data without actually putting it all on a command-line at some point(silly, eh?). In any event, perhaps something like this will work:
for each file ... $rmfiles=$rmfiles $some_files_to_delete ... if 100 < -l "$rmfiles" then $show "$rm $rmfiles" $run $rm || exit_status=1 $rmfiles= fi done if test -n "$rmfiles"; then $show "$rm $rmfiles" $run $rm || exit_status=1 $rmfiles= fi Is there a less random number than 100, that would be a reasonable minimum? -jeff _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
