Sample dir for testing purposes.

In the following how can this be done,
so the symlink is kept.


ls -l /nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/

-rw-rw----+ 1 root root
4939e67271963d8214859447421aa2d5d76132703a68fec172 e365d465324e53-primary.sqlite

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root packages -> /nfs/yum/i386/16/_local/packages
-rw-rw----+ 1 root root repomd.xml

echo rm /nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/*
rm
/nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/4939e67271963d8214859447421aa2d5d76132703a68fec172 e365d465324e53-primary.sqlite
/nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/packages /nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/repomd.xml



man rm doesn't give anything on keeping symlinks.
I would like to have the job eventually to run as a cron.

Apolgies for self-reply:

This may do:
echo rm -H /nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/*.*
(sans echo)

Still learning:

find /nfs/yum/x86_64/16/_local/ -type f ! ( -name packages ) | xargs
echo rm


seems to be it.

Beware if the path or filename contains blanks or some other whitespaces!
