A recycling bin for unix
If you copy the files can, mtcan, seecan, and mtcan2 from this web directory to your ~/bin directory on a unix/linux computer,
then you can get a Recycling Bin / Trashcan capability.
This is similar in functionatlity to
http://kb.iu.edu/data/abeh.html, though one difference is that it sets
your $HOME/.trashcan directory to be readable only by the user, to hinder
garbologists.
Examples of use:
# various ways of moving files to the trashcan:
can file
can file1 file2
can files*
Bug: at present, the "can" command won't work on files with spaces in
their name.
seecan # see the files currently in the traschan
mtcan # empty the trashcan (permanently delete the contents)
