Comment on Need help understanding a back-up script
klay@lemmy.world 8 months agoI just looked up the man page, and actually head -n -2 means “everything up to but not including the last two lines”, so this should always leave two files remaining.

Your xargs comment is still wrong tho. It deletes ALL but the most recent two files.
