[Alug] bash script...

20 Jul 2001

      Could somebody explain to me why the following doesnt work, or offer a
better solution please?

--
DIRECTORY=".thumbnails"

remThumbs()
{
  rm -rf $DIRECTORY
}

for i in `ls -a` ;
do
  if [ -d $i ] ;
  then
    echo "Yup, $i is a directory"
    if [ $i == $DIRECTORY  && $i != "." || $i != ".." ] ;
    then
      echo "Removing $i ..."
#      remThumbs
    else
      echo "Entering $i ..."
      cd $i
      $HOME/bin/remThumbnails
    fi
  else
    echo "Nope, $i is a file"
  fi
done
