Remove file without asking
How can I remove a file without asking the user if he agrees to delete the file? I am writing shell script and use rm function, but it asks "remove regular file?" and I really don't need this.
Solution 1:
You might have rm
aliased to rm -i
so try this:
/bin/rm -f file.log
To see your aliases you can run alias
.
Solution 2:
The force flag removes all prompts;
rm -f {file}
Solution 3:
May the force be with you - rm -f
