Hi,
of course there is a way to do this via a script. We're talking about KDE :).
I remember doing it by DCOP, but I can't find the option any more.
However, you can use ktrash. ktrash accepts --empty, so "ktrash --empty" will
empty the trash can of the logged in user. If you need to run this script as
root or as a different user you might need to use su or sudo and correct
XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY variables.
This might work:
XAUTHORITY=/home/user/.XAUTHORITY DISPLAY=:0 su user -c "ktrash --empty"
Maybe you figure out some problems when trying to empty the trash can of a
user that isn't logged in; I just emptied the trash can every time a user
logged in.
Good luck.
