You can also alias mv and cp similarly, and also set noclobber (tcsh) or its equivalent so that etc do not overwrite existing files. By using file name expansion (TAB, ^D etc) you can also check whether file names exist already or not. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But one thing that might help in the future is SoftUpdates+Snapshots. See the online handbook Section 17.14: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/snapshots.html You can take a daily snapshot, and if you accidentally delete a file... mount the snapshot, and recover it. Just an idea. -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And, like another message said, depends on if the inodes have been overwritten. And like the other post alluded to, there's no replacement for a good backup. That being said, I can tell you what I've done ever since I hosed /usr one day accidentally, while in a pissed off mood not paying attention to the paths I was typing, had to do a restore (luckily I had just done a full dump). I hate it it's aggravating, but it's saved me several times from another restore, but in .bashrc I have: alias rm='rm -i' When you type rm whatever, it'll ask you if you're sure. Be sure. :-) And backup regularly. Denny White Please do not CC me. Already subscribed to mailing list.
