Yeah,
rm -i by itself means interactive ( i is for interactive rm which
means, it will ask for confirmation every time) for users rm means just
rm without i but for root user, it is aliased to rm -i which you can
see in .bashrc file . So you are by your command telling the shell to
ask for y/n every time. If you are looking to remove without
confirmation , rm -f is what you are looking for , as mentioned by Dan.
Thanks

My computer setup needs two RS232 (serial) interfaces. I have the motherboard
one and I also have a separate PCI card (4348:3253). The separate card has been
going on the fritz since sometimes it just stops working. I bought another PCI
serial card and I thought I could swap them out. Unfortunately, the new card
(5372:6872) doesn't load the serial kernel driver like the old card. When I do
a lspci -v for the old card it says kernel driver=serial and for the new card
nothing is listed. I do an udevadm for both and the old one says serial and the
new one says serial8250. Not sure why it doesn't say serial8250 when I do a
lspci -v for the new card. Can you write a udev rule to load the correct
built-in driver? Also, I did a cat on the modules.builtin and it shows
serial_core.ko, 8250.ko, 8250_pnp.ko, 8250_pci.ko. I thought I would see a
serial.ko and serial8250.ko as well. Any suggestions or am I out of luck on the
serial card?

Good morning all,
I have a question that I don't know how to google. When I issue a command
like "rm -i *.txt", it responds with a question that I type 'y' for every
line. I recall a way to issue a 'y' to every question. I thought it was 'y!'
but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know this trick.
Thanks,
Eric
p.s. yes, I know I can use \rm *.txt or rm -f *.txt for this specific trite
case, but there are other situations where this would be helpful.

man rm:

Dangerous sometimes but it is what you seek
