Access a flat file on UNIX

We have installed the Notes Server on a UNIX machine.

I want to kill a file from my Agent periodically, but he can't find the path of the file?

CODE LotusScript :

Const path$ = "/lotus/notesr4/data1/sapfile.csv"

If Dir$( path$ ,0 ) = "" Then
Msgbox( "No file on : '" + path$ + "'" )
Else
Kill path$
End If

Thank you for the help.

Another thing to remember: Unix has case-sensitive filenames!

Before solwing this probles this messages appeared:
05.06.2001 17:05:51 Addin: Agent 'killIt' error message: Path not found
05.06.2001 17:07:42 Addin: Agent 'killIt' error message: Path/file access error

Maybe this little code sniffet helps???

direc = session.GetEnvironmentString( "Directory" , True) ' get the Notes Data Directory from notes.ini
fileName$ = "sapfile.csv" ' this will be the file system name for the file
fullpath$ = direc + "\" + fileName$
Kill fullpath$

I use this on my Linux Server and it works like a charm...
