You might want to check out libtrash http://www.m-arriaga.net/software/libtrash/ <snip> This is the homepage of libtrash, a shared library which, when preloaded, implements a trash can under GNU/Linux. This way, your mistakes (at least those of the "rm -rf dir /" class :-)) will no longer cause the loss of a week's work or your system's binaries. </snip> -- Rene Cunningham DCLabs Pty Ltd http://www.dclabs.com.au ---------------------------------------- When I was little, I went into a pet shop and they asked how big I'd get. -- Rodney Dangerfield -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
