I was wondering what the best way to delete lots of files is. Here is
my problem, I have a mail box directory with 55K files in it. The file
names are in the form: 1144126802.V411I59451aM517953.foo.com:2, They
are semi squential.
I would like to delete all the files in the 114* series. However, when
I pass rm -f ./114*, I get to many arguments as an error. What I really
want to delete is all files from before June.
Ideas?
