produced from "man rm"
-i prompt before every removal
so rm -i file
proof
| Code: |
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ touch test
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ rm -i test
rm: remove regular empty file 'test'? y
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ stat test
stat: cannot stat 'test': No such file or directory
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ touch test
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ rm -i test
rm: remove regular empty file 'test'? n
mkultra@mksrv [ ~ ]$ stat test
File: 'test'

thanks, I didn't even bother to look-up "man"
I guess adding to .bashrc "alias rm="rm -i" will do the trick. |

lol u would not believe how absurdly trashed my system is right now. i dont know aliases or exports that well. id get midevil on it and write a full on script before i would alias or export anything. my gnome3's telling me to log out and log back in, and im just running programs on top of it from the cairo-dock life raft.
i dont know how that would work to alias a command with the same alias as the command. if it works shout back, ill do it to my system too as thats been driving me up the wall for a really long time, -I only asks for more than 3 files or recurse so you can delete a single file or two with out being pestered but will stop absurd system trashing |

It works. You probably don't realize this, but you have several already set.
Check (but don't modify) /etc/bash/bashrc. you see you already have alias ls='ls --color=auto', alias grep='grep --colour=auto', alias egrep='egrep --colour=auto', and alias fgrep='fgrep --colour=auto' set automatically. Your changes, of course, should go in your user's .bashrc

can you give me a hand and show me what your .bashrc looks like i blasted mine away on accident yesterday, my systems seriously rocked right now, gnome wont boot correctly, gdm's totally shot, wicd wont connect, i have to use a crippled gnome3 thats telling me to log out.... i dont have any other users on this system to copy over from, and i suspect roots .bashrc is not the same as the users....
im sorry about the thread jacking im really in a pinch |

OK, Here is an abridged version:
| Code: | # /etc/skel/.bashrc
#
# This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup,
# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp
# that can't tolerate any output. So make sure this doesn't display
# anything or bad things will happen !
# Test for an interactive shell. There is no need to set anything
# past this point for scp and rcp, and it's important to refrain from
# outputting anything in those cases.
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
# Shell is non-interactive. Be done now!
return
fi
# export the root directory so root code works!
export ROOTSYS=/share/apps/root
# Put your fun stuff here.
# portage aliases
alias update="sudo emerge -auvNtD world"
alias clean="sudo emerge -ac"

# ssh alias

# physics alias's
alias fermilab="ssh <username>@<host>"

[[ -f "/home/<user>/.config/autopackage/paths-bash" ]] && . "/home/<user>/.config/autopackage/paths-bash"
# Start X unless there is a boot parameter request, active X, or a SSH connection
if [ "$(echo $DISPLAY | wc -w)" -eq "0" -a "$(cat /proc/cmdline | grep nox | wc -l) " -eq "0" ]; then
if [ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
