intro to UNIX - making a sort-of recycle bin (for fun)
Hello, I'm only taking Intro to UNIX in school right now, so please bear with me. My problem is with a sort-of recycle-bin rig I've created for fun. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, I am the admin. (only user, actually) of this computer. I'm using this script in ~/.bashrc
side note: I would think that checking if a directory (line 5) has contents is unnecessary, except when I just had rm -r ~/purge/* written, I'd getrm: cannot remove `/home/jzacsh/purge/*': No such file or directoryBUT only when the purge directory was empty.
Here is the output I'm seeing on login: bottom line, questions:
what am i doing wrong to get the "no such file or directory" error, in line 3 just above? (am I using variables incorrectly?)
is -ne operator only for mathematic comparisons - line 4 of error? if so, what should I use?
hello everybody,
I am trying to find the path of the Recycle Bin. I know that it's a temporary storage place, but it should have a path that we can refer to.
I want to know it because I sometimes use cygwin to work on Windows, and when you delete something with it, it's gone. I just checked... (4 Replies)
Hello,

Hi,
Humorous UNIX Commands shows a fun way of using echo and dc to sort of obfuscate a string.

Hi.
I'm started to use minix 3.2.1 recently and I'm trying to create a recycle bin for it. I'm kinda struggling on how to do it. I searched internet and I found scripts created for it but I actually didn't learn how to create scripts in college and I'm not sure if I understand them. I just wanted... (1 Reply)
Hi.
I've created scripts for a recycle bin that can list, restore and empty it. I only have the problem of deleting two files with the same name. When I do it one file overwrite the other. What could I do to resolve it? The only thing I can think is asking the user to rename file before moving to... (2 Replies)

vfs_recycle
VFS_RECYCLE(8) System Administration tools VFS_RECYCLE(8)NAME
vfs_recycle - Samba VFS recycle bin
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = recycle
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_recycle intercepts file deletion requests and moves the affected files to a temporary repository rather than deleting them
immediately. This gives the same effect as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers.
The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped drive. Instead, a directory
called .recycle will be automatically created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is not configured. If
recycle:repository is configured, the name of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users can recover files from the recycle
bin. If the recycle:keeptree option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path identical with that from which the file was
deleted.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
recycle:repository = PATH
Path of the directory where deleted files should be moved.
If this option is not set, the default path .recycle is used.
recycle:directory_mode = MODE
Set MODE to the octal mode the recycle repository should be created with. The recycle repository will be created when first file is
deleted. If recycle:subdir_mode is not set, MODE also applies to subdirectories.
If this option is not set, the default mode 0700 is used.
recycle:subdir_mode = MODE
Set MODE to the octal mode with which sub directories of the recycle repository should be created.
If this option is not set, subdirectories will be created with the mode from recycle:directory_mode.
recycle:keeptree = BOOL
Specifies whether the directory structure should be preserved or whether the files in a directory that is being deleted should be kept
separately in the repository.
recycle:versions = BOOL
If this option is True, two files with the same name that are deleted will both be kept in the repository. Newer deleted versions of a
file will be called "Copy #x of filename".
recycle:touch = BOOL
Specifies whether a file's access date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.
recycle:touch_mtime = BOOL
Specifies whether a file's last modified date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.
recycle:minsize = BYTES
Files that are smaller than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.
recycle:maxsize = BYTES
Files that are larger than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.
recycle:exclude = LIST
List of files that should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as * and ? are
supported.
recycle:exclude_dir = LIST
List of directories whose files should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as *
and ? are supported.
recycle:noversions = LIST
Specifies a list of paths (wildcards such as * and ? are supported) for which no versioning should be used. Only useful when
recycle:versions is enabled.
EXAMPLES
Move files "deleted" on share to /data/share/.recycle instead of deleting them:
[share]
path = /data/share
vfs objects = recycle
recycle:repository = .recycle
recycle:keeptree = yes
recycle:versions = yes
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
