Trying to make a script to delete a stats file so I can easly reset it.

I tried making this but no luck:

Try using the full path, eg, /home/bot/whatever/scripts/etc/filename.dat

hi rosc,

I have tried the full path as well and a few other ways with no luck.

Have you made sure the file was not in use (opened or such) when you deleted it?

it isn't opened or in use, do you know of another sample delete script i can try?

Well, your script is pretty much the way to go, unless you'd like to depend on external binaries.

I assume the file is generated by some stats-script. I take it you've double-checked that there is no way it could've held the file opened?
