Cron Job to delete .AppleDouble directories

[ooimo]

Like the title says. How would I go about making a cron job to delete directories starting with "."?
If this isn't possible can someone point me in the right direction? I'm getting frustrated with the directories everywhere. Thanks!

Something along those lines should work:

Code:

find /mnt/folder/ -name \.AppleDouble -exec rm -rf {} \;

(stolen from this gist)

I think this is a bad idea. See: http://forums.freenas.org/threads/get-rid-of-those-_filename-created-by-a-mac-connection.15933/

9.2 will include Netatalk 3 which handles these behind the scenes.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll just leave them.
