As per Murphy, you'll "accidentally" remove the only existing copy of your most important file WHEN (not if!) that alias is not set for whatever reason,
As per the BASH man page, there is the ~/.bashrc personal initialization file which is sourced for each interactive shell that is started. <quote> When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. When bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in the environment, expands its value if it appears there, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and execute. Bash behaves as if the following command were executed: if [ -n "$BASH_ENV" ]; then . "$BASH_ENV"; fi
Really: DO NOT ALIAS 'rm' TO 'rm -i'. EVER.

I really don't like absolutes, except for a few physical constants. Religious zealots may have their own set of absolutes they believe in, but that isn't applicable here either. Perhaps we should reconsider the use of the term 'permanent' as well :-) -- I thought about being born again, but my mother refused. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
