Re: [tlug] deleting a local list of filenames from remote server

[Charles Muller <cmuller-lst@example.com>]

I swear this worked two days ago when I first tried it. I didn't get any error
messages and the files were indeed deleted.

    scp  /dicts/ddb/pcache-update user@example.com:public_html/ddb/pcache/pcache-update;

    ssh user@example.com 'cd public_html/ddb/pcache && xargs rm'  < pcache-update;

Now when I run it, the file obviously get copied to the server, in the
proper directory, but for some reason, the file is not found

   chuck@example.com:~/bin$ pcache_update_ddb 
   pcache-update                                 100% 2257     2.2KB/s   00:00    

   /home/chuck/bin/pcache_update_ddb: line 5: pcache-update: No such file or directory

   chuck@example.com:~/bin$ 

I hesitate to keep bugging everyone with this, but after getting this
far with this and this much input, I don't want to give up. If anyone
can readily identify a possible point of error, I'd greatly appreciate it.
