Use this feature to be able to undelete any file if desired. Originally the command rm deletes permanetely.
Put this at your ~/.bash_profile
function rm () { local path for path in "$@"; do # ignore any arguments if "$path" = -* ; then : else local dst=${path##*/} # append the time if necessary while [ -e ~/.Trash/"$dst" ]; do dst="$dst "$(date +%H-%M-%S) done mv "$path" ~/.Trash/"$dst" fi done }
