Danger will robinson
Authored by: oink on Nov 05, '03 11:19:46PM

From your suggestion, I make this:

( cd /Volumes/aaa/Trash ; pwd ) && ( rm -friv * ) ;( cd /Volumes/aaa/.Trashes ; pwd ) && ( rm -friv * ) ; ( cd /Trash ; pwd ) && ( rm -friv * ) ; ( cd /.Trashes ; pwd ) && ( rm -friv * ) ; ( cd ~/.Trash ; pwd ) && ( rm -friv * )

the pwd is just to make sure I am in the correct directory and I currently use the -i just to make sure everything is okay.

I am sure it is not the most efficient command, but I switch back and forth between 9 and x and have several drives attached and I seem to have trash cans under all sorts of names on each disk. I am hoping to be able to routinely run such a command (probably an alias) and do what I manually do currently...
