Thanks for the responses.
David says to change the number to 1000 and Patrick says to change it to
3000. Which will give me 1000 backups? I wasn't sure if the 3 had to do
with number of letters/numbers in the filename...
So is it
:0 ic
| cd ~/mail/backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,3000d`
or
:0 ic
| cd ~/mail/backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,1000d`
???
Thanks,
Cyndi
