thanks. but i moved away from using ports-mgtm/portupgrade so i don't really want to use portsclean, but use something else. i thought `find` should to be able to accomplish the job. maybe this is a bug in find? because actually the `find` command i'm using should work. cheers. alex Jason schrieb am 2010-02-10: > On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 02:51:52AM +0100, Alexander Best thus spake: > >hi there, > >i've been trying to delete all the works directories in my ports > >dir. this is > >the command i'm trying to use: > >sudo /usr/bin/find /usr/ports -name work -depth 3 -type d -delete > >after i issue the command however > >sudo /usr/bin/find /usr/ports -name work -depth 3 -type d > >tells me that nothing got deleted at all. is there something wrong > >with that > >command? > >cheers. > >alex > You may want to try looking here: > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html > Section 4.5.5 > >_______________________________________________ > >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > >To unsubscribe, send any mail to > >"freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- > Jason Helfman > System Administrator > experts-exchange.com > http://www.experts-exchange.com/M_4830110.html
