"touch - " created a file '-', now how to delete this file, as "rm -options - " is not accepted. Thanks from gping

Hello Try rm -r ./- Jonob

From the man page on rm, you need to use 2 "-" characters. NOTES A -- permits the user to mark explicitly the end of any command line options, allowing rm to recognize file arguments that begin with a -. As an aid to BSD migration, rm will accept - as a synonym for --. This migration aid may disappear in a future release. If a -- and a - both appear on the same command line, the second will be interpreted as file.

Deleting file "-" is little tricky in Solaris since the dash is confusing the rm command because it seems that you will provide a flag. these are the steps to take deleting file like that. 1) #ls -il - the command will get the inode of the file and the result will look like this 126 wr-xwr-r -- -- - "-" * note 126 is the inode of the file 2) using find command and the inode #find /- -inum 126 -exec rm {} \; * after the / include the - because there could be other files that have the same inode in other directories and you dont want to delete them. I guess that will solve your problem
