I am in need of deleting all executable files from a directory. My directory contains some configuration files and executable files, and I need to delete all executables that I don't want.
For that I have wrote a command like this:
ls -lp | grep -v / | awk 'match($0,"-**x*x*x",a);{print a[1]}'| \
awk '{print $9}' | xargs rm -f
Is there aother way to do this?
I tried with find. It will list all other sub directory files. I used grep -v /, to avoid sub-directories in the current folder.
