I've got couple that I've picked up from the net that I can supply on request. rm/unrm - this pair of routines replaces rm so that when you do an rm the file(s) is actually mv'ed to /tmp/$user/. The full pathname is not remembered, only the tail. As such, if you rm to files with the same name the second will overwrite the first. Since directories in /tmp are not removed by the os, they will pile up until you /bin/rm them, and fill up the /tmp filesystem. unrm will mv them into the current directory regardless of their directory of origin. rmsecure - is a script (slow) which will do filename expansion and, if any wildcards are used, echo the expanded fileset and ask you if your sure. This gives you a chance to preview your rm fileset. -- Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? Who knows, who cares.

Good luck!!
