Hi:

1) rmdir $home.dir

removes an empty directory provided you have permissions to remove it.

2) rm -r $home.dir

recursively removes $home.dir and it's entire contents, again, provided you have permission.

Thanks Ed

The directory is called ${home.dor}, which created by some script.

rm -rf ${home.dir}

ends up with :
ksh: ${home.dir}: 0403-011 The specified substitution is not valid for this command.

Try something like this:

rm -rf '${home.dir}'
