Response to: Unwise to replace rm

I couldn't agree more! I wrote the script and I started calling it "rmm" more than a year ago. The site where the script is posted also suggests this now. However, I admit that I didn't change the site until this was posted as I thought interest in it had waned. This Hack certainly started another "lunar cycle"!


You omitted another big reason for changing the name; you would be amazed at what ends up in the Trash after a major make install!


Thanks for an excellent suggestion.
