Why not just move the rm command and redefine it as a script then you can issue "please verify your command". Of course you will want to be careful, since now rm expects input in the case you're trying to exercise care. Anything that is scripted should run the old version of rm.
Such a fundamental modification would affect every user on the system, including startup scripts, shutdown scripts, and cronjobs, none of which have a controlling terminal with which to prompt and read a response.
I strongly suggest against even considering this suggestion.
I propose a wholly new direction: psychology, not technology
Code:
1. The users do not know RH Linux (Centos), or you would not be here with this problem.
2. You can cause them to be a lot more careful with a vague threat.
I do not know how your users get to root, maybe su or sudo. Anyway, as part of root's login message or from the
Code:
sudo su - root
add a message:
Code:
"Warning: All actions regarding deletion of files using the rm command are being monitored."
Or whatever works in your environment.
Of course, you are monitoring nothing.
But users cannot know how to verify that easily. It is not bulletproof. But you cannot play with core utilities like rm and still have the system behave correctly.
I think you have a management problem. If management will not listen seriously to your problem, and enforce some changes, then you cannot possibly win.
But maybe you can fool enough people to get some stability.
