Compare what remove_old_kernel() does.No,it is not using that function rather take the parameter from the commandline and get into boot dir match with it and remove it.But it doesn't do that. I tested it. It should be more like what rmeove_old_kernel() does: rm -If vmlinuz-$kernel_ver System.map-$kernel_ver config-$kernel_ver and if not, please explain why not.Okay, again some uniformity missing in the code, I would like to your suggested method,i.e call remove_old_kernel to do the job instead of depending on individual kernel.The simplest thing to do is set kernel_version=$kernel_ver and then call remove_old_kernel(). And set modules_version=$modules_dir_name and call remove_old_modules_dir(). But it would be cleaner to pass a parameter (kernel_version) to the remove_old_kernel() function and to pass a parameter (modules_dir) to the remove_old_modules_dir() function.Thank you...I have just modified the code and call both the function under remove option. BTW I didn't set the extra variable $kernel_ver name it $kernel_version and instead of $modules_dir_name name it $mo dules_version. Capturing command line parameter in $kernel_version and $modules_version Is that fine? Here is a code snippet:Yes, that should be OK.-r | --remove) if [[ $# -ne 3 ]]; then printf "You need to provide kernel version and modules directory name \n" exit 1 else remove_old_kernel remove_old_modules_dir fi I have just test it and it works. And about solitary r option without hypen is ignoring and doing nothing. Means, if I pass ./scripts/prune-kernel r 5.3.3 it simply ignore and does nothing.Only with the hypen it can work.Is that how it should be? or what would you expect that to do?
Yes it should be. Any malformed parameter should be discarded,except what explicitly given in code form,as help reminder. OR Do you want me to reminds user that they are missing thing to operatecorrectly??
