Simple Bash script help

[sym]

I want to write a script that will recursively parse a directory and delete any file the ends with "~". What I have tried so far is:


#!/bin/bash

rm -rf *.*~


This doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

./ maybe?

also you need to make it executable

chmod +x i think

AND

run it as root as becasue anything created as root and being deleted by user will not work but vice versa will

[sym]

It does run ok, the problem is that if there is not a file that matches the criteria in the folder in which it is executed from, it stops. If there IS a file that matches *.*~ in that original folder, it runs fine. I don't understand how to avoid this problem.

Thanks
