So the point is rm -rf does not prompt for confirmation while rm -r works and asks for confirmation. Also rm -irf also works.

Can anyone now explain why is this so and how to fix so that "-i" flag works with "-f" flag ?
man rm:
Quote:
-f, --force
ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt

-i prompt before every removal

Setting aliases

How come if I set an alias as such: alias dt 'date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"' it will work as intended, ie the command 'dt' does prompt the date and time, but not when invoked through a script as such: #!/bin/sh alias dt 'date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"' The OS is FreeBSD 7.1. Thanks in advance (4 Replies)

NAME
vgremove - remove a volume group SYNOPSIS
vgremove [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...] DESCRIPTION
vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups. If one or more physical volumes in the volume group are lost, consider vgreduce --removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again. If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt will be given to confirm removal. You can override the prompt with -f. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. -f, --force Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation. --noudevsync Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre- ates. SEE ALSO
