Or you could do it in two lines:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f /archives/*
Or you could do it in three lines:
#!/bin/bash
touch /archives/test
rm -f /archives/*
Or you could do it like this (approx)
#!/bin/bash
find /archives/ -type f -exec rm -f {}
(I never seem to get my find -exec commands to work properly, but it
should work if you get the parameters right.
BTW, keep in mind /archives/* will never match /archives/.somefile etc
Finally, like all things in unix, there are dozens of ways to solve a
problem :)
PPS, for most of the above "scripts" you probably don't need the
#!/bin/bash on the first line, because it doesn't matter which shell
interprets the commands, they should all "do the right thing"....
BTW, "man rm" will provide some hints on how to use the rm command,
including using -f "ignore nonexistent files, never prompt"
