rm substitute with blacklist
hi!
first i want to apologize for two things. my English and (possible) posting in the wrong sub forum (i couldn't find one that fits my question)
I am needing a script that can substitute rm.
the idea is that the operator can/must delete some folders and files from time to time, when the free space on some hard drive is running low, but some other files shouldn't be touched, and you know murphy
i can write a script to do that, but i was hoping someone already did
what i can think is a while loop that reads the blacklist file line by line, and if the %1 equals some line, then echo some msg and stop
but is more complex, i need logs, i have to match full path and, basename of the full path against, the first param. i need to be able to detect errors on the input, and avoid "rm -rf /" hells derived from coding errors
to be clear, i don't want you to make this script (if it has to be done, i will do it, and you will read me in the scripting section asking some specific problems), again, i was hoping some one already invented this wheel
About the interpreter/unix flavour it doesnt matter, if you know one that works on bash/ksh/zsh/csh/.* in SunOS/Linux/AIX/SCO/BSD/.* i will be more than grateful

FORUM(1) mrtg FORUM(1) NAME
forum - Interactive Help for MRTG users SYNOPSIS
There is a lot of written documentation for mrtg. But never the less you may have a problem where you can't find the solution. In this case some Human Help may be necessary. With MRTG there are several ways to get Humans to help you. MAILING-LIST There are three mailing lists for MRTG available. mrtg for discussion among mrtg users mrtg-announce for announcements regarding new versions of mrtg related software mrtg-developers for discussion among people who write software in connection with mrtg or who hack mrtg itself. THE RULES Please note, that the memebers of the mrtg mailinglist value politeness highly. This means behave in a way you would like others to behave towards you. o No shouting. (NO CAPS) o No rude language o No demands. everybody is on the list out of their own free will. If you do not get an answer to your question, chances are high that you did not give sufficent details about the nature of your problem or that the answer to your problem is in the documentation. o If you do not follow the rules you will be unsubscribed from the list with no further questions asked. o Decisions about your unsubscription from the list will be taken by Alex van den Bogaerdt <alex@slot.hollandcasino.nl> Paul C. Williamson <pwilliamson@MANDTBANK.COM> If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, you may send mail to me and explain the situation. Tobi Oetiker <oetiker@ee.ethz.ch> SUBSCRIBING These lists are managed by a mailing-list management software (listar).
