Of course the easiest way to handle it would be:

$ sudo rd /middle_east

lol.  I like it.

[client32]

$ sudo rd /middle_east

I thought I had a handle on Unix, but "rd"?

[Zundfolge]

I thought I had a handle on Unix, but "rd"?

oops ... should be rmdir .... stupid MSDOS getting my mind all muddled up

[client32]

I thought it would be something along those lines.

I'm an "rm -rf" kind of guy myself  


edited after the fact:

I have a book, Unix for Dos users, if you would like to borrow it.  

[RevDisk]

Is it sad that I not only understood it, but thought it was rather funny?

Were all geeks

I think what's sad is that, like client32, when I read it I kept asking "why doesn't he just rm -rf"?

[BrokenPaw]

While rm -rf has a nice quaint charm to it, with the middle east I think about the best command would be:


$ mount | grep middleeast
/dev/middleeast1 on /country/iraq type minix (rw)
/dev/middleeast2 on /country/iran type vfat (rw)
/dev/middleeast3 on /country/syria type ext2 (rw)
$ su
Password: *******
# umount /country/ira[qn] /country/syria
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast1
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast2
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast3
#
# mkdir /country/USOilField
# mkdir /country/MallAndParkingLot
# mkdir /country/DisneyMiddleEast
#
# mount /dev/middleeast1 /country/USOilField
# mount /dev/middleeast2 /country/MallAndParkingLot
# mount /dev/middleeast3 /country/DisneyMiddleEast
# exit
$

Why reiserfs?  Because it allows you to have tail.

LMAO!

I am such a *ix and politics geek.

[garrettwc]

How about this one (it's been a while so feel free to correct my syntax)

$ untar nuclear.* /middle_east
