so? if you read the "rm" man page, you'll find this little paragraph: -f, --force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt if you don't want "rm" to ignore nonexistent files, don't use -f. and if you want total control over the removal process, don't use an external process. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
