Subject: problem removing a file
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 16:24:11 +1000

Hi,

I have a file that has been named "--absolute-paths" (no
quotes).  It looks like it was created when one of our
sysadmins was testing a burt backup routine.

It is about 650MB and I need to remove it.
However, I cannot remove the file as the rm command
thinks it is an option!  nor can I rename it with mv.

any help would be appreciated...

thanks,

adrian




go to the directory it is in, do:
rm ./--absolute-paths

or do its full pathname
