Roman,

That is a smart way of doing it. It looks quicker too. I need to google more 
about this command.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I have this file by name '-C' created by mistake. I am unable to delete this. 
Any ideas?

[oraapp@greece app]# ls -l
total 457636
-rw-r--r--   1 oraapp    oraapp    435824640 Oct  4  2007 -C
-rw-------   1 oraapp    oraapp     32271367 Oct  4  2007 nohup.out

How can i delete the '-C' file?

Thanks,

Vikram
