The problem with that solution is that when you move to a new system,
you assume that your files will go to trash and then OH NO
Better to do something like:
alias del 'mv -iv \!* ~/.trash/'
and get in the habit of using 'del'
Or maybe a script called 'del' in your path that looks like (I use
this one):
#!/bin/sh
DATESUFFIX=`date -u +%Y-%m-%d--%H.%M.%S` # All files deleted at the
same time need the same serial
LOCATION=${HOME}/.Trash
if [ \! -d ${LOCATION} ]; then
echo Creating $LOCATION...>&2
mkdir ${LOCATION}
chmod 700 ${LOCATION}
fi
if [ \! -z $SUDO_USER ]; then
THE_USER=$SUDO_USER
else
THE_USER=$USER
fi
for each in "$@"; do
if [ -e "$each" ]; then
NEWFILE=${LOCATION}/`echo "$each" | tr / _`.${DATESUFFIX}
echo -n $each '->' ${NEWFILE}
mv "$each" "${NEWFILE}"
chown -R $THE_USER "${NEWFILE}"
echo .
else
echo \"$each\" was not found >&2
fi
done
if [ \! -z "$PS1" ] || [ \! -z "$PROMPT" ]; then
printf "Your trash can has %s and %s inodes\n" `du -hcd0
$LOCATION 2>/dev/null | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}'` `find $LOCATION|
wc -l`
fi
