This shouldn't happen beacuse you can drop a file and then redirect
other code for example calling a script if you only have access to drop
a file. Say a cronjob was running every hour, and it did rm * on some
folder, by expansion, you could expand it to -riv or whatever you
wanted and redirect program flow from there.
Thanks,
