I need remove a specific files from file system

[netmen]

Hello,

I need remove many files that are stored in directories which the same name, but in diferent places, for example,
/usr/tom/temp/file1, file2
/usr/peter/temp/fil1, fil2
/usr/john/temp/temp1, temp2




how can i use the awk for do it

Using awk isn't really necessary to solve your problem. Here's a cheesy script to do what you want:

#!/bin/sh

DIRNAME=/temp
BASE=/usr

for DIR in `find $BASE -type d -name $DIRNAME`
do
rm -f $DIR/*
done

Maybe someone can come up with something more elegant.

HTH,
