This is analogous to Unix commands assuming you meant what you said. 'rm /bin/bash' Ok boss, no questions, no confirmation prompt, done. One of the first things I do on a new Unix login is alias the rm, cp and mv commands to -i so they prompt before clobbering files. I spend a lot of my day at a command prompt, but I like my guardrails.
