Moving files to 'trash'
Hi I'm new to Linux, and I'm trying to write a shell script where I remove a specific file (i.e file1 or file1.txt), but i don't actually remove it, i move it to a directory called 'trash' - in vi I created a file with the path /usr/bin/del and in it I have:
mv $file /home/trash, but I'm getting an error message that says missing argument. I also tried mv *.* /home/trash, which sort of worked and I thought I had got it until I realised it moved ALL the files in the directory I was in to the 'trash' directory... Any help would be awesome. Jodi |
