Thread: cannot rm dir

I was creating a folder to store my test scripts on AIX. I used the following command to create a directory:

mkdir shell scripts

What I did not do is place an underscore between shell and scripts. Well it created 2 directories. I want to remove them, but every time I type:

rm shell or rm scripts it tells me

rm: 0653-603 Cannot remove directory shell

or

rm: 0653-603 Cannot remove directory scripts

Also, I chmod 777 on both directories and rm still did not work.

All help is appreciated.

Thanks.


=============================================

Never mind, this was a probably a dumb question. I just found out that the command to complete the rm is:

rm -r dir

Hopefully this will help any new guys out there like me who are still learning the *nix systems.
