[SunHELP] Strange "rm" Case

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

I suspect 'rm' is an alias to 'rm -i'.

Type "whence rm" or "alias | grep rm" to see how the shell will interpret
"rm".

	Objet:	[SunHELP] Strange "rm" Case

	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..
	dEVRim
