(Yeah | sure, you have the same problem if you have a file that starts | with dash, I already hear someone point out.) | | Since you suggest to alias rm to rmt, your application needs to | behave like rm and have a similar UI. | lavela wrote: | Don't actually alias it with 'rm' or you'll have a bad surprise | waiting when you are on a different system and your muscle memory | kicks in. | | I even had to disable rm for non-privileged users on my systems | just to get used to use trash-cli. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-10-11 23:00 UTC)
