: [...] If they need to use id's between 100 and 999 they should be able
: to force the user add program, but they should be asked the "are you
: sure" question.
A pedantic detail: No interactive questions. A '-f' or '--force' flag
or similar is fine, but system utilities should not query for input
unless the user requests it. And querying only sometimes is even worse
than always querying, since there's no good way for a shell script to
know when the utility expects user input and when it doesn't, causing
some things to break or hang mysteriously.
