i have noticed there is no -option character for "ignore-fail-on-non-empty", i still have no idea what it is :). i dont know if it's a problem with the university installs of linux or not. hope this is informative enough!


--pasted from console--
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

address@hidden:~$ rmdir --help
Usage: rmdir [OPTION]... DIRECTORY...
Remove the DIRECTORY(ies), if they are empty.

     --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
                 ignore each failure that is solely because a directory
                 is non-empty
 -p, --parents   remove DIRECTORY, then try to remove each directory
                 component of that path name.  E.g., `rmdir -p a/b/c' is
                 similar to `rmdir a/b/c a/b a'.
 -v, --verbose   output a diagnostic for every directory processed
     --help     display this help and exit
     --version  output version information and exit
