[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-11120) hadoop fs -rmr gives wrong advice

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14145909#comment-14145909 ] 

Vinayakumar B commented on HADOOP-11120:
----------------------------------------

I believe you might have got the full error message as below
{noformat}rm: Unknown command
Did you mean -rm?  This command begins with a dash.{noformat}

I feel its correct. ''rmr" and "rm" are commands. And to use any commands with fsshell we should prefix them with '-'.
