RM Error 0403-027:the parameter list is too long

eg
#find/agent4.0/swap/"*" | Xargs-n rm {} \;
A procedure that is deleted reports a hint that the file or directory does not exist. But the file was finally removed and the problem solved.

There are other times when  use the RM command, you may also encounter:

If you have a large number of files to delete  you can consider using the Xargs-n parameter for bulk deletion. Refer to the following example:

find/backup/-ctime 2-print | Xargs-n rm {} \;

0403-027 The parameter list is too long
When we execute RM or other commands, the system will report 0403-027 the parameter list is too long, such as:
#find./-mtime +10-name *.trc ksh:/usr/bin/find:0403-027 The parameter list is too long.

This occurs primarily because the AIX kernel parameters are Ncargs controlled, and the Ncargs parameters are described as follows:

Ncargs Purpose: Specifies the maximum allowable size for the Arg/enu list (blocks size 4 KB) when running the exec () subroutine.
Value: Default value: 6; Range: 6 to 1024
Showing: LSATTR-E-L sys0-a Ncargs
Change: Chdev-l sys0-a ncargs=newvalue
Changes are immediately effective and are saved during boot time.
Diagnostics: The user is not allowed to perform any additional processes because the variable table passed to the EXEC () system call is too long. Low defaults can cause some programs to fail with a bad list too long error messages, in which case you can try using the Chdev command above to increase the Ncargs value, and then rerun the program.
Adjustment: This is a mechanism to prevent the exec () subroutine from being too long for the variable table to fail. Note that adjusting to a higher Ncargs value adds some additional restrictions to the system's memory resources.

With 0403-027 errors, we now have a discussion of two ways to solve this problem:
Method One:
1. Increase the Ncargs value
#chdev-L sys0-a ncargs=64

2.OK, you can delete
#rm *

3. Work done, the parameters back to the original value
Chdev-l sys0-ncargs=4

Method two: Using recursive parameter passing
Find./-mtime +10-exec rm {} \;
