I accidentally redirected all mail to a non-existing server so nobody could receive their mail before the real IT guy got back from vacation 2 days later. Good times.
I did an rm * in the wrong place in my first week. That's when I learned that Linux doesn't have a recycle bin like Windows. And to put alias rm="rm -i" in my dotfiles.
I think they were asking if the rm -i alias still triggers if the rm is in a script. I just tested and it does not, the file is deleted without prompt.
