You havent an undelete in unix but you can easily implement something like this: For example you can make your own rm: (pseudocode that shall be improved but you get the idea) myrm: #!/bin/bash backup_dir=/usr/local/share/secure/backup for i in $* do # fix: comprobe first if the file exist in the backup and rename # as needed mv $i $backup_dir # dont rm just move. done exit 0 then you could put a crontab to remove the contentents at backup_dir periodically, or just do it by hand.. if you remove something by accident you dont have to care about this since you only has moved it..
