Can you help?

Does anyone know the command to delete a file with the shell execute pass using ms-dos command prompts. The file I want to delete resides on the same server where the Identity console is installed.

Hi Matthew,

are you looking for the command?

On windows it would be del and on unix rm. You get the options either using del /? or man rm.

Regrads,

Alex

That would be something like

cmd /c del <put path/filename here>

You need to address the command processor which is in a windows world cmd, you can find the options using

cmd /?

where /c simply terminates the shell after execution.

For unices it would be something with /bin/sh or a shell flavour of your choice and availability.
