Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Rm -rf is taking very long, will it timeout? Post 302902661 by Perderabo on Wednesday 21st of May 2014 01:53:04 PM

This has happened to me on several occasions. Not a timeout per se, but the connection drops or something like that. There are ways to make the the rm process nearly immortal. But I simply reconnect and restart the command. The files that were deleted do not come back... they stay gone. So you don't lose any progress.
