dndel - Delete a file on a VMS system
Contents
Description
dndel deletes files held on VMS systems. The filename parameter may specify a single file or a wildcard
(remember to use VMS wildcards).
If you specify -i or -v then dndel will open two connections to the VMS machine (much as VMS itself
does). Otherwise it will attempt to use a single connection. One side-effect of this is that the deletion
process will fail at the first file that cannot be deleted.
Examples
dndel -i 'myvax::oldfile;*'
dndel 'tramp"christine pjc123"::interactive'
