REMOVING CORES CONDITIONALLY 
To find and remove core files
 conditionally:
 
 PROMPT> find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;
 
 The File will show which
 executable the core file is
 for and the -i option to rm
 will allow you to choose
 weather to delete it or not.
 
 ################# EXAMPLE ###############################
 PROMPT>  find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;
 /my/home/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'netscape-commun'
 (signal 3), Intel 8
 rm: remove `/my/home/core'? y
