[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 825747, member: 71075"] I don't know if this will work but if you just deleted rm (and no other files), you might be able to copy it from another OS X machine. If you do, I would make sure you get it from a machine that has the same updates installed in case they are different versions (it may have been patched). In case you use Fink or MacPorts, you should be able to get rm through the coreutils package. This is not a perfect fix but it should at least provide some relief. Someone else here might be able to tell you if you can install it from the OS X disc without reinstalling. [/QUOTE]
