Hmmm. Makes me wonder if in Unix there is an "recycle bin" equivalent for the "rm" command.
no. KDE, GNOME, XFCE and so on have a recycle bin implemented, wich only works if files are "deleted" with the filemanager of the desktop environment (--> KDE, GNOME, etc). But there is a rather cool library called "libtrash" which can be used. This library hooks the remove() and unlink() functions of the libc. So whenever an application deletes a file, the libtrash will get informed about this and move the file to a recycle bin directory..... Works at least for Linux, no idea if it works for AIX, SunOS, HP-UX or whatever.... Bye, Michael -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Michael Knigge Entwicklung S.E.T.
