I think the key is "without having to respond yes repeatedly". Means he's got
something set up to rm -i in the shell environment. So two ways:
1) \rm -rf /directory
2) alias rm=rm, then rm -rf /directory

I am nervous about doing this since it is Linux versus other OS. What is the correct
command to use to remove a directory and all of the files that fall under that directory
without receiving questions back about whether or not want to remove various files within
the that directory? In other words, using the example below, I want to remove the
"directory_to_be_removed" including any files that are in it without having to
respond yes repeatedly? The directory being removed is actually downloaded Oracle
software from CD (but not the location where the install of the software itself is
actually located at).
/u04/db_files/directory_to_be_removed
