If it makes you feel any better, I had a backup script that created a copy of the /etc directory each night. I decided to delete it, so I typed "cd /backup" then "rm -r /etc". Gives me the chills just to type it into an email. I did get the server operational by copying the directory from an other similar server, but decided to reinstall as it was too much trouble to make it 100% again.

There was some discussion on this list a week or 2 ago about recovering, but the consensus is that it ain't easy... Restore from your most recent backup... For future reference, you can alias the rm command to a script that moves everything to a trashcan directory. You can then have a weekly cron job delete the trashcans - this gives you some recovery mechanism for this kind of thing... > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 12:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Done rm-f > > > Hi > > I have done rm-f and removed my program files.
