fs -rmr without error

Hi -
is there a way to do a fs -rmr s3://foo/bar that doesn't result in an error
if the given directory doesn't exist?
I can imagine this is because the underlying hadoop tool gives some return
code that pig treats as an error - is there a way to force pig to not abort
on certain errors?

Thanks!
Flo

If you are doing this with Pig, you could use "rmf".

rmf does not throw an error if the file is not present.
