This is one of those times when 'sup -msv &' sure works well. I check
the E-Mail that I get back from sup and look at whatever directories it
was unable to delete. I then delete them straight out of elm.
Just a thought; since sup is already mucking about deleting files and
all, would there be a BIG problem with changing the 'rm -f' or 'rmdir'
that is currently used to an 'rm -fr'. The problem seems to be a
fairly consistent one (symlink to /usr/obj/* and CVS directories) and I
end up using a recursive 'rm' to get rid of them anyway...
Of course, if I was a REAL programmer (TM), I would make the change
myself and just mail it up to the core team.
Maybe I'll be a REAL programmer (TM) this week-end.
