Yes, that is what we're saying. rm cannot change. As long as Apple wants to conform to the POSIX specification, rm must behave as described there: http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/ If you want to create a new operating system in which rm moves files to a trash directory, time is counted in minutes since 1970, all function names are in Spanish, and nobody's shell scripts work because nothing in /bin behaves as expected, go for it. It just won't be Unix anymore. 2552/7/20 Clark Cox <clarkcox3@gmail.com> On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 4:55 AM, Esteban Bodigami<esteban.bodigami@gmail.com> wrote:
