Hi
I mistype this shell#/rm a.tar.gz
it works but it won't confirm and the file is remove
why?
rm never asks for confirmation by default. The reason you think it does is that you normally execute an alias instead of the real command when running as root. You must have become root in a way that did not load the shell aliases.
