how do I make 'rm' 'rm -f'?

[galaxy3001]

I used to have alias in .bashrc:

 

alias rm='rm -f'

 

that does rm without asking. But it seems no longer work in Mdk 10.0. Does bash no longer allow command overwriting using .bashrc? anyone noticed same behavior?

I've seen the same thing happening in mdk10.0. I put an alias in .bash_profile, and .bashrc without success. Let me know if you figure out a solution.

all my aliases in .bashrc seems to work. rm is aliased to 'rm -rf'. im one insane and lazy loonixer.

 

ciao!

it'll be global, but make a script <whatever.sh> and put it in /etc/profile.d

Do you mean that if you open a console and type in

 

alias rm='rm -f'

 

and then try rm, it doesn't work?

 

what happens if you open a console and just type

 

alias

 

is the rm command redefined?

You need to making a file .alias in your home directory...

 

See the file /etc/profile.d/alias.sh

 

# Linux-Mandrake configuration: Chmouel Boudjnah <chmouel@mandrakesoft.com>

#

# Common Aliases for a system.

#

# The Semantic is :

# If exist a ~/.alias and the user hasn't specified a

# LOAD_SYSTEM_ALIAS variables then don't do any system aliases

# If there is no ~/.alias but the user has specified a

# IGNORE_SYSTEM_ALIASES then don't do any system aliases.

 

Use it as a template for your /home/<your user name here>/.alias file
