I think you want libtrash, from the description: "libtrash is 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." However, I believe it broke some stuff or misbehaved in other ways. I can't remember exactly but Google can probably dig up som criticisms. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
