Hmm - I use a Mac and it works here.  Maybe you need to add it to ~/.bashrc 
instead of ~/.bash_profile in your case.

According to Apple's docs:

   /etc/profile
  The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells
   ~/.bash_profile
  The personal initialization file, executed for login shells
   ~/.bashrc
  The individual per-interactive-shell startup file

You can also simply type it in a terminal to activate it for THAT Terminal 
session.

That's why most Unix systems ship with an alias for root that aliases rm="rm 
-i" so that any rm attempt by root will prompt for verification.

If you'd like to save yourself from this potential megafail, do this:

edit ~/.bash_profile

add this line somewhere in the file:

alias rm="rm -i"

Save the file and then quit Terminal.  When you go back into a Terminal 
session, that will be set for you automatically.  You may need to do this for 
root's environment as well. If you have multiple accounts logging into your 
system, you can make this systemwide by adding it to the /etc/profile file 
(must sudo to edit).

So this came up on another blog recently, where someone posted a youtube of 
when Pixar *accidentally* deleted Toy Story 2 from their computers by typing in 
the command to delete all files on the hard drive. 

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you have to be an administrator, and don't 
you have to sudo that command?

Okay, what do you all get when you type this one:

put shell("[dangerous command line deleted]) into field "gotcha"

(I know that's got a syntax error and is not quite the right command to
erase the hard drive on MacOS, but I daren't put the whole thing lest

*evil grin*


On the Ubuntu forums they have a policy against posting destructive 
command lines.  First offense get a post deleted with a warning to the 
author; second offense bans the author.


This is done to protect newcomers, to ensure that the Ubuntu forums are 
a safe place for people to get support.


I appreciate the good humor here and that you intentionally wrote it 
with a syntax error to prevent execution.


Just the same, this seems a good opportunity to offer a gentle reminder 
that we have members here with a wide range of experience, and we want
