You should have a "soft remove"... "rm -rf *" is a joke so old I can't believe anyone still gets bitten by it.
the "rm" command should be aliased to a script which moves the target file to a "trashcan" directory somewhere which then gets checked by a "cron" job which does a permanent remove of any files which haven't been accessed in 10 days. then you implement a "mr" command which lists the trashcan directory and allows you to retrieve stuff you've fatfingered with the "rm" command. Somewhere I've got C-shell scripts to do all this (which I'll be using if I can ever get Woody up). Or, of course, you *could* just bring up Solaris and enable "snapshot", (which may require RAID), I'm not sure (but it's packaged with Solaris) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
