Spark assumes unlink is in /bin #10

On OS X (at least) it is in /usr/bin/unlink Why is it even required ? Can't you just use rmFile ?

I think rmFile will remove the file that the link points to. Feel free to try it out and send a pull-request.

rmFile uses System.removeFile. The documentation is unclear, but System.removeFile (on POSIX) calls Posix.Files.removeLink, which uses unlink(3), which according to the man page only removes the symlink, not the target :smile:

If I make a pull-request with a fix, will you try it out and tell me whether that fixes the problem for you?
