How to delete all empty directories starting with 201 ?
The command must not execute recursive.. Only directories in the current directory
find /var/www -type d -name "201*" -exec rm {} \
This returns
find: missing argument to `-exec'
you can simply run
rmdir 201*/
rmdir will only delete empty directories and 201*/ matches all subdirectories of the current one starting with 201.
if you don't want to change to the respective directory before, you can use the full path:
rmdir /var/www/201*/
rmdir /var/www/201*/
