Shell script for a moron
Me iz fik, me not no how to rite sheel skripts (me talking like a troll too, mr shine, him diamond! 
)
I would like to do the following in a script
rm -rf /Library/FolderOne
rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/FolderTwo
That's easy. The bit I'm having issues with is this:
Find if /etc/mach_init.d/ directory exists. If it does then;
rm -rf /etc/mach_init.d/FileOne
If it's not there, do nothing. The final, and other problematic step is to then ask the user if they wish to delete a specific directory (/Users/UserFolderOne/) and if they answer 'y' delete it, if they answer 'n' don't delete it.
Anyone wish to help a fik troll speeking moron and show me how to do the above?

What about this:
DIR=/etc/mach_init.d
if [ -d ${DIR} ]
then
rm -rf /etc/mach_init.d/FileOne
else
error_exit "Unable to find ${DIR}"
sleep 3
fi
If you want them to add input:
DIR=/etc/mach_init.d
if [ -d ${DIR} ]
then
echo "Do you wish to delete ${DIR} [Y/N] : \c"
read REPLY
REPLY=`echo $REPLY | tr "a-z" "A-Z"`
if [ ${REPLY} = "Y" ]
then
rm -rf /etc/mach_init.d/FileOne
echo
echo "Directory ${DIR} now deleted"
sleep 3
else
echo
echo "Directory ${DIR} will no be deleted"
sleep 3
fi
else
error_exit "Unable to find ${DIR}"
sleep 3
fi
This has not been tested. Just something to go on.
