Re: removing the core file...

[Raj Mathur <raju@xxxxxxx>]

You can make the script shorter (and more accurate) with:

	find . -type f -name core | xargs rm -f

The -type f ensures that you don't remove any devices and/or
directories named core by mistake (yes, some Unix's do have devices
named core, and the Linux kernel has a subdirectory called core).
