I think this is kind of a poor UI design of rm(1) honestly. It seems like what we need is a 'never be interactive' flag, that won't surpress the error message about the schg'd file, or read-only file system, but won't try to prompt for it. Although adding a new flag to rm(1) at this point probably doesn't make sense. -- Allan Jude
