Hello Koos,
Reading your post, I think your describing a killer app. A command-line trash
tool would be very cool.
I've got a few remarks:
- use untrash for restoring files (restore is taken), using trash for trashing
and restoring is confusing
- trash doesn't need to be interactive, only untrash needs to be
- put mktrash and trashfind in the daemon: the user nor root should need to
run them
Actually the Trash Can project looks pretty well thought out. trash:// can
probably build straight on top of it. Too bad it's not in Knoppix/Debian,
otherwise I'd immediately apt-get it. I think I'll install it anyway.
I did find libtrash:
libtrash is a shared library which, when preloaded, will intercept
calls to a series of GNU libc functions and make sure that, if an
attempt to destroy certain files is made, these won't be permanently
destroyed but rather moved to a "trash can".
Cute idea, but too obfuscating for my taste.
