You probably want to do

find /var/spool/clientmqueue -type f -exec rm -f {} +

Or the variant ... -execdir command {} + might be preferable.

It claims to avoid potential race conditions and warns about $PATH setting.

to reduce your load or if your find(1) isn't POSIX compliant:

find /var/spool/clientmqueue -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

HTH, Frank.

Frank, I need to re-read man pages more than once every decade or so. I didn't know they had added new forms of exec.

Thanks,
