Thanks Rudic,Ravinder Singh,rabattel,Don Cragun for enlightening me.
as i got the requirement to suppress -rf option for rm command to database user
i don't have sudo or root access so i chosen this way with my limited knowledge.
Thanks once again all for sharing your thoughts.
IN general, doing what you want ,without creating a chroot jail for that one user, will fail or break existing code for everybody else.
You need to consider - assuming you are on a open source like linux or freeBSD:
1. change the rm source to stop printing, compile it to another directory
2. put the one user in a chroot jail, where the special rm and the rest of /bin /usr/bin and maybe /usr/sbin are in a separate safe location for that user. Only.
source /home/venkat/scripts/test_fun_ls.sh
alias ls='RM_FUNCTION'

Also Someone please advice me above process is ok or not
Aliasing a rm function to ls is not something i consider "avoid unrequired deletions". ls is used to list files, not to remove them.
From my point of view, i say this is not only bad coding - but harmfull coding, eventhough the intial idea was to to avoid harms.
And if it is jus for fun, try this:
Code:
alias ls="echo rm ${@:-*};echo Successfully deleted: ${@:-*}"
