Subj : Re: CLI Linux help, directories and rm -r..

The other suggestions would have worked just fine, too - including renaming the sub-directory - but none of those were needed as deon set me straight in the first reply. Thanks, all - it was just a little bit tricky and I didn't wanna mess around with bad syntax when the home directory might have been in jeopardy. :P Its weird how Mystic created this directory in the first place; I've used the '~/mystic/whatever' format for things before, and I think its safer to always use the full '/home/user/mystic' style when calling directories in nix. I'll always use the full path from now on and replace any calls to the former if I see them. |07p|15AULIE|1142|07o |08......... --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/10/25 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbs>>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1337:3/129) .
