Perhaps it's your opinion that the USA are the equivalent of an
`authority figure' among the nations on this planet; but stating this
as if it were a fact is plain insulting, at least to me, but to many
others too, I'm sure.

Check your /etc/crontab file to see what's being run at 4:02AM.
It's probably logrotate or updatedb or some such default RH5.2
daily script.

(as root)

/sbin/debugfs /dev/xxx

where xxx is the device name of the file system you want
to check the inode for.

Then, at the debugfs: prompt type:

  ncheck yyy

where yyy is the inode number you want to look at.

It seems to me more likely to be the result of a cron job.
Those daily scripts shouldn't be hosing your filesystem,
unless it's already hosed! You should reboot your system
and force a file system check:

shutdown -r -F

OK PPP was easier for me to set up in Windows 95 than in Linux. Of course,
I had four or five ISP's include their setup programs on Windows 95, so it's
not the fairest comparison. Did you have to type in scripts for PPP in
Windows, or were the programs included?

If you are trying to fix something already done, then you'll need to
look at the undelete howto and mess around with the bits in the filesystem.
Good luck.

If you are being pro-active and are looking for an rm(1) replacement,
then I have one to offer you.  Attached is a man page for nrm(1), a
recoverable rm replacement that I wrote and which has been in use for
about 10 years at Hewlett-Packard Labs on our department cluster of
about 25 HPUX workstations. 

The basic idea is to put the "deleted" file into a hidden subdirectory
(./.gone/filename) so that it stays near its original location in the
filesystem.  This avoids the problem of having multiple files of the
same name colliding in a global "~/.trashcan" directory.  It also makes
it easy to clean up all deleted files in just a subsection of the
filetree. 

Nrm also supports time-stamped save files, using a hashing technique to
maintain speed, and is handy for keeping check-point copies of
engineering databases or critical documents.  We have some of our CAD
tools configured to nrm(1) the existing database before saving a new
version.  It's nice to be able to back out any change made over the last
3 days. 

A simple cron job removes deleted files older than 3 days (a configurable
number), and will also remove empty .gone directories.

Nrm comes with a script replacements for cp(1) and mv(1) which
protect from overwriting a target file.

A large amount of effort went into making nrm(1) duplicate rm(1)'s error
return codes, error messages, etc., under all the wierd corner cases of
deleting sym-links, dev-files.  This is to allow nrm(1) to be seamlessly
substituted for rm(1) in legacy scripts.

I'm willing to release the source under GPL (it compiles out-of-the-box
under Linux), but just haven't gotten around to packaging it up yet. 
The command line options have been rewritten to make it compatible with
the GNU version of rm(1). 

This program is the first line of defense allowing most non-super users
to recover from simple errors without having to bother our back-up guru
for a tape restore.  I still would recommend behaving as if your rm(1)
were a loaded gun, but if you still fumble it, then nrm(1) will make the
reconstruction a lot easier. 

Until I can get some time to "productize" this thing, I'd be happy to
release a sharfile  to interested parties by email.  Anyone want to 
beta test the linux version?  I've been using it at home bug-free through
5 different revs of the kernel over the last two years.

Best regards,

 NRM(1:LOCAL)                                                   NRM(1:LOCAL)


 NAME
      nrm, urm  - recoverably remove and restore files

 SYNOPSIS
      nrm [ -f ] [ -i ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -t gracetime ] file ...
      urm [ -f ] file ...

 DESCRIPTION
      Nrm   is   a   local   replacement   for   rm(1).    Files   of   name
      "dirpath/basename"  are  recursively moved to "dirpath/.gone/basename"
      rendering them normally invisible except by ls  -a.   Such  files  are
      also  implicitly  marked  for future deletion by updating their access
      time.

      No error messages are printed when the -f option is given  or  if  the
      standard input is not a terminal.

      If a designated file is a  directory,  an  error  comment  is  printed
      unless  the  optional  argument  -r  has been used.  In that case, nrm
      renames the directory, making  it  invisible  and  subject  to  future
      deletion.

      If the -i (interactive) option is in effect, nrm asks whether to  move
      each file and, under -r, whether to rename each directory.

      Files are kept a default of 3 days before permanent deletion.  If  the
      [-t  gracetime]  option is given then the file will not be permanently
      deleted for at least gracetime  days,  unless  the  file  is  accessed
      during  that time.  Reading an nrm'd file will update its access time,
      thereby resetting its scheduled deletion date to be the default number
      of days (3) in the future.

      If the -s (sequenced backup) option is given, nrm will  not  overwrite
      saved  entries  in  the "/.gone" directory, but instead will save each
      file with a unique suffix such that every deleted  file  is  preserved
      for the full gracetime number of days.

      On long-filename systems, the suffix is  of  the  form:  "-YEAR-MONTH-
      DAY-HOUR:MIN:SEC",  where  each named field is 2 characters long: eg.,
      "foo-93-05-09-21:32:17".  If two files of the same  name  are  deleted
      within the same second (thereby potentially mapping to the same name),
      the conflict is avoided by adding a random string to  the  conflicting
      name.   The  disambiguating  string is of the form: "%xx" where "x" is
      randomly  chosen  from  the  set  "[0-9A-Za-z]".  Eg.,  "foo-93-05-09-
      21:32:17%fQ".

      On short-filename systems (limited to filenames of 14 characters), the
      name  of  the  deleted  file is constructed by truncating the original
      name to 11 characters, and appending  a  random  suffix  of  the  form
      "%xx",  as  described above.  Deleting the file "ThisIsALongFilename",
      with -s sequencing, could create the deleted file "ThisIsALong%8c".

      Urm  is  used  to  restore  deleted  files  or   directories.    Given
      "dirpath/basename" or "dirpath/.gone/basename" as an argument urm will
      search for "dirpath/.gone/basename" and restore the file or  directory
      if  found.   The  second form allows the user to give a command of the
      form "urm foo/bar/.gone/*" and have the shell do wild-card  expansion.
      The modification time of restored files is preserved.

      Urm will ask before overwriting an existing file unless the -f  option
      is in effect.

 FEATURES
      Nrm does not use system(2) or exec(2) so is significantly faster  than
      similiar script-based implementations.

      When updating system executable files, using nrm  to  remove  the  old
      file  will prevent causing a "killed on text modification" swap error.
      The removed version will be permanently deleted gracetime  days  after
      the last process has ceased to swap to the removed file.

      This renaming strategy was used to  give a  good  summary  when  using
      du(1) to evaluate freed-up disk space.

 ADMINISTRATION
      A line like the following should be added to root's crontab:

           30 1 * * *          /etc/nrm.cleanup

      The nrm.cleanup script permanently removes all empty  directories  and
      expired files.

 SEE ALSO
      rm(1) unlink(2).

 DIAGNOSTICS
      Generally self-explanatory.  An attempt was made to provide  the  same
      exit  codes  and  user interface as rm.  Returns 0 if successful, 2 on
      errors.  It is forbidden to remove the file "..", the file "." and the
      files ".gone/*".  The -t option does not work on symbolic links.

Have you considered AfterStep?  It isn't particularly complicated to
use.  Or mlvwm (roughly based on the Mac finder)?  Or even (I shudder
to say this because I don't like it all that much) CDE?

Those are fine to use.  Even things like fvwm95 (which is very close to
Windows 95 on a superficial level) might suffice.

No, one way to obtain beginner-friendliness and not have bloat would be
to remove features.  Something I as an advanced user would not want to
see happen, at least in the OS I use.  :-)

It's generally more flexible (and a lot less top-heavy) to use text
config files and efficient-but-beginner-unfriendly user interfaces.

Sure:  
 - Insert backup tape in /dev/nrst0
 - Type "restore" from root prompt

....you _are_ making backups, right?


Kidding aside, there is no standardized 'undelete' command.  There are
ways you can lessen your reliance on such things.  Learning to think
twice before typing 'rm' is a good practice.  Using version control for
programs and initialization scripts (and even ordinary documents) is
also helpful.  RCS is pretty decent for one-person projects and general
system administration.  So long as you don't remove your RCS archive,
you're fine....

Several of the prettier desktops implement a Windows/Mac -like 'trash'
or 'Recycle bin' feature.  Note that this works only with GUI delete
features, and not necessarily with shell/CLI deleted material (you'll
find the same caveat applies under Windows anyway).

Try booting a DOS floppy and runing LOADLIN with MEM=128M.  Then reread
