[SOLVED] script for cleaning Ubuntu

DVOM · 02-16-2016, 02:32 PM

I would like to create a script that I can manually run or have run at startup. I would like the following included:

rm -f /home/jars/.cache/mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/cache2/entries/*

rm -f /home/jars/.cache/thumbnails/normal/*

rm -f /home/jars/.cache/thumbnails/large/*

rm -f /home/jars/.thumbnails/normal/*

I can run these in terminal one at a time and get the results I want but would like to make it a little more convenient.

TIA

Code:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/rm -f /home/jars/.cache/mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/cache2/entries/*

/usr/bin/rm -f /home/jars/.cache/thumbnails/normal/*

/usr/bin/rm -f /home/jars/.cache/thumbnails/large/*

/usr/bin/rm -f /home/jars/.thumbnails/normal/*

remember to chmod 744 it.

thanks schneidz, I had already created a file identical to what you've got there. I didn't have to chmod it, all I had to do was to set it executable and to open with bash.

Problem solved. Thanks again.
