Will "rm -rf *" remove all files/folders in the current directory ?
- by Olivier Lalonde
Will "rm -rf *" remove all files/folders in the current directory ? I want to make sure the wildcard * won't move up in upper directories and erase all my filesystem :D
I remember doing "chmod 777 .* -R" to chmod hidden files and it chmodded all my filesystem. Obviously, I was on the root account.
