A colleague of mine has somehow managed to create a directory called "~"
(without the quotes) in the /home directory on a server running Solaris
8.
Any ideas how I can delete it?
# cd /home
# ls -la
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Aug 13 09:54 ~
# rm -r ~
rm: cannot read directory ~: No such file or directory
# ls -bq
~
# ls -i
12 ~
# find /home -mount -inum 12 -exec rm {} \;
cannot open /home/~: No such file or directory
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Howard.
