hi everyone,

I got a file name --dNOPAUSE, it is a postscipt file.

I have problem deleting it from my home directory.

below are the details of what I get, when I use the
rm command to remove the file:

$ rm --dNOPAUSE
rm: illegal option -- -
rm: illegal option -- d
rm: illegal option -- N
rm: illegal option -- O
rm: illegal option -- P
rm: illegal option -- A
rm: illegal option -- U
rm: illegal option -- S
rm: illegal option -- E
usage: rm [-fiRr] file ...

Is there any command that can remove this type of file
in Solaris?

For your information, I am using Solaris 9.

Any help given will be greatly appreciated.

Good Day

try "rm *NOPAUSE*"

hi technopark02,

for your information, I manage to remove the file using the below command:

$ rm ./--dNOPAUSE
