RE: deleting IFS files

I didn't see anyone mention you can use switch -L to follow symbolic links.

find -L /var/tmp -type f


As seen from v7r5 with /QOpenSys/usr/bin/find
/QOpenSys/usr/bin/find -> ../../QIBM/ProdData/OS400/PASE/bin/find

Subject: deleting IFS files


I am obviously missing something ...



if I strqsh and run



find /home -type f



I see a long list of files



But if I do the same on



find /var/tmp -type f



I see nothing



Or just



find /var/tmp



I still see nothing



But there are thousands of files in /var/tmp



Example



Object link Type

QACXAAJG80 STMF

QACXAAKPCF STMF

QACXAALWZ5 STMF

QACXAAM1LV STMF

QACXAAM3B3 STMF



I actually want to delete these but the delete was not working using the

find command so I was trying to determine why and then found that the

files were not being selected.



I can manually delete a single file from wrklnk.



Can anyone suggest what I am missing please.



Thanks



Don
