Hi.

The file is a binary.:

Code:
# file /usr/bin/rm
/usr/bin/rm:    ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped

It would not be a good idea to edit it!

Code:
# strings /usr/bin/rm
SUNW_OST_OSCMD
frRi
usage: rm [-fiRr] file ...
getrlimit
rm of %s is not allowed
rm: %s is a directory
rm: remove %s (%s/%s)?

Hi.

Which bit don't you understand, why do you need to understand it, or care about it?

Code:
/usr/bin/rm:    ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped

rm is a system command, you can't edit it, you should not try and edit it.

what you want to do is replace it with a new command that copies the file to a special "recycle bin" folder.

so...

recycle.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
cp -p $1 /recycle/.

then we use an alias:
Code:
alias rm recycle.sh

the above is NOT a full solution, it is only a guide.
