find . -name '*ettercap*' exec rm -rf "{}"\;
or
find . -name '*ettercap*' | xargs rm -rf
Note that this will work incorrectly if there are any filenames containing newlines or spaces. To deal with filenames containing newlines or spaces you should use instead:
find . -name '*ettercap*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

bash : Self redirect of Script’s output to a file

Send string to stdin

Command read one line of string from stdin

zic -d ~/tmp - <<< "Zone UTC+1015 10:15 - UTC+10:15"

The - is to read from stdin instead of file.
or read multiple lines of string

zic -d ~/tmp - << EOF
Zone UTC+1015 10:15 - UTC+10:15
EOF

Some commands don’t need -

cat <<< "Hello"
cat - <<< "Hello"

work the same

Or we can use echo

echo "Zone UTC+1015 10:15 - UTC+10:15" | zic -d ~/tmp -

Redirect from a command

diff <(ls /bin) <(ls /usr/bin)

Read lines from file

while read line
do
   echo =$line=
done < /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 

Read lines from stdout

ls -l /home | while read line; do echo "output: $line"; done
