Have you considered using shell functions or aliases to do the same thing? For example, in bash, some people like doing:
alias rm='rm -i' If one wants to really change the default behaviour (i.e. making scripts use `rm -i') then one can always introduce a new command: cat << EOF > ~/bin/rm #!/bin/sh /bin/rm -i $@ EOF chmod a+x ~/bin/rm or so, that way all programs that use rm will use your version of it, and the reall rm will always get -i. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
