Linux delete file with size 0 [duplicate]
How do I delete a certain file in linux if its size is 0. I want to execute this in an crontab without any extra script.
l filename.file | grep 5th-tab | not eq 0 | rm
Something like this?
This will delete all the files in a directory (and below) that are size zero.
find /tmp -size 0 -print -delete
If you just want a particular file;
if [ ! -s /tmp/foo ] ; then
rm /tmp/foo
fi
you would want to use find:
find . -size 0 -delete
