How to recover deleted files

[Sascha Effert]

Hello,

I understand you, but if you e.g. use rm in a script you would not want
that it asks. I think nearly everyone using the shell has lost at least
once data by typing rm in the wrong folder... :-)

A friend of mine had set an script therefore, wich replaces rm by moving
anything to a special folder (~/.trash/). You could e.g. use the
following skript:

#!/bin/bash

mv $* ${HOME}/trash

Please store this script under the name rm. I have an own bin directory
in my home directory to do this, where I keep such scripts. To be sure,
that it is used instead of the original rm I have at the end of
my .bashrc the line

export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Perhaps this makes life easier for you.
