| Re: [PLUG] toy story2 nearly lost with rm* |
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Years ago I developed the habit of typing ./ in front of file and directory names - PARTICULARLY those in an rm command. rm -rf ./* is just fine when the PWD is /home/eric/projectX/temporary_files Sometimes I will execute an ls command first to see that I'm deleting the files I *think* I am. Then, press the up arrow, cursor to the front of the line and replace ls with rm ls *.tmp rm *.tmp I still agree that aliasing rm for root is a smart idea. I should do that. No, I _will_ do that.
