Code:
marvin@vmsrv2:~$ cd tmp marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$ ls marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$ touch test marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$ rm -s *.* rm: invalid option -- s Try `rm --help' for more information. marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$ ls test marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$
Also, "*.*" will not match every file on a UNIX/Linux system, it will only match files that have a "." in their name. End result is that the destruction is far less complete than it should be.

Plus, you get to do stuff like this:
Code:
marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$ ssh vmsrv ud -d - Uptime for vmsrv - Now : 126 day(s), 04:29:43 running Linux 2.6.25.1-1.0-vmsrv One : 126 day(s), 04:28:07 running Linux 2.6.25.1-1.0-vmsrv, ended Fri Dec 5 22:39:01 2008 Two : 102 day(s), 10:51:08 running Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64, ended Sat Mar 8 19:28:39 2008 Three: 96 day(s), 12:28:59 running Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64, ended Mon Jun 18 19:12:41 2007 marvin@vmsrv2:~/tmp$
