Question [HW] Script so that when i execute the "rm" command

Hi guys,

I need to write a script so that when i execute the "rm" command, the file mentioned need to be copied to other folder and then be deleted. this should be done in back ground. can you please help me out??


I have written a code in c for this but i dont have C compiler and i dont have admin rights to install too.

Code:
 #include<stdio.h>
  #include<unistd.h>
  #include<fcntl.h>
  #include<sys/types.h>
  #include<string.h>
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  
  {
              if(argc <= 1)
              {
                          printf("specify the file to be removed\n");
                          printf("exiting\n");
                          exit(0);
              }
              execlp("cp","cp",argv[1],/usb_hdd1/deleted_files,NULL);
              execlp("rm"."rm",argv[1],NULL);
              return 0;
  }           



The above is the code i have written. can i have something like this in shell??

mdbFontSize(5)							 The m17n Library						    mdbFontSize(5)

NAME
mdbFontSize - Font Size DESCRIPTION
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format. FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT * PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')' FONT-SPEC ::= '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]] REGISTRY ')' ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font. See m17nFont for the meaning of each property. ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT: ((devanagari-cdac) 150) instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is 'devanagari-cdac'.
