cleanup script needed

[rkumar at buddha.usc.edu]

This may be quite silly to the UNIX wizards.

1) Frequently I need to erase unnecessary files to save space.
It would be nice to have a script which removes all
the files with a specified extension, e.g., .dvi or .aux
not only in the current directory, but in all the 
children directories recursively. 
Will rm -r *.dvi do the job? Since it is an "rm" command,
I don't want to try it out ... 

2) Sometimes I create a file in a directory which is deep
down in a directory hierarchy. Any quick way to search for
a file, given its name/template?

Thanks 
Ravi
