[Klug-general] Bash script to delete folders if they exists

[Nathan Friend]

Thanks Karl that was easy.

if [ -d /home/nathan/test2/123 ]
then
rm -r 123
echo "123 deleted"
else
echo "123 not found"
fi

if [ -d /home/nathan/test2/456 ]
then
rm -r 456
echo "456 deleted"
else
echo "456 not found"
fi

Cheers,

Nathan.
