This question already has an answer here:



  • limit find output AND avoid signal 13

    3 answers



find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -ltr | head -n 10 | awk 'print
$NF' | xargs rm


This command is giving me this:



xargs: 'ls' terminated by signal 13


However, it's executing fine. It's supposed to delete the 10 oldest files on the specific folder. Is there something to worry about? Is there a fix?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.














  • A better way to sort files, especially lots of files - so many that xargs would issue multiple invocations of ls and you wouldn't get a total sort - can be found at unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22674/…

  • Signal numbers other then 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, and 15 are not portable. You need to explain what signal 13 is on your local machine.

I believe the issue is with the head command and the pipe. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27800726/ls-terminated-by-signal-13-when-using-xargs for more information.



Hope this helps
