I am wondering if I should place a feature request on this or just do it my way:) With great power comes great responsibility and as such I think there should be a wrapper around rm to warn sysadmins that what they are about to do with -rf is dangerous, yes? Read input from sysadmin 3 times, looking strictly for their confirmation before effecting the `rm -rf`. Could it be that what I am smoking/drinking is the issue here or I have your support? LOL -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft."
