 Unix Tip #4584- September 29, 2025
 
TCSH AND RMSTAR  
  
tcsh has a nice built in variable:  
set rmstar  
  
Whenever you type the command:  
  
% rm *  
  
The shell will ask you to confirm, this prevents you from deleting  
all your files accidentally.  
  
Add "set rmstar" in you .cshrc file for your own benefit.
