CREATING TRASH

Sometimes unwittingly we may delete 
some important files and realise it 
later. To avoid such a situation, 
you can use this following idea. 

Create a small bash script containing
the line

mv $1 ~/trash/  

Save this file in your home say 
".srm" (safe rm) and in your 
".bashrc" enter this line:

alias rm='~/.srm' 

Now whenever you delete any files 
it will go to "trash" directory 
instead of deletion.  You will 
have to create a "trash" directory 
in your home directory.
