Aloha,

We have a box with over 500,000 files in a direcotry. If I try 'rm m*' I get
an error, something like 'too many arguments'

I think someone else in this situation had a method of switching to another
shell, bash is default.

All the files start with mgetty. I would like to prserve the other files in
the directory and the directories below /var/log

Anyone have any ideas?

Aloha,
Matt
