My "rm" is aliased to "rm -i" in one of my shell startup
files. The above command ignores aliasing and unconditionally
removes anything matching "-name xxx". Why?
Yes, I know I can also do "-ok" instead of "-exec", like:
touch aaa.summary
[vlad@borg /vlad]$ find . -name *.summary -ok rm {} \; -print
< rm ... ./aaa.summary > ? y
./aaa.summary
however, my "rm" aliases should be honoured by "find", shouldn't
they?
