Couldn't formulate myself a command after checking similar posts, is there any way I could get a command that would:first create argument list with all esymac_logEvents.log.* files,remove the files one by one, with a loop or exec command (maybe notone at atime, it would be preferable to remove the max number ofarguments rm() function can receive)Cheers.
Deleting LARGE number of files (exec, loops..)
