Hi friends;
I met with a strange "rm" case. When i use rm command without relative path,
it ask me for each file or directory to delete., although i force them to
remove. But when i use with relative path including both rm commands under
/usr/bin/rm and /usr/xpg4/bin/rm, everthing is ok. Do you have any idea about
that? Have u ever met with that case?
Thx and regards..
