Emulating rm command
Thanks for replying, but what is confusing me is how to handle it if someone used options with the command, like saferm -iv or something, what kind of loop contruct would I have to use to check for each option? Also, how do I check to see if the file actually exists?- Actionboy

Emulating rm command
Can anyone give me some code for writing a safe version of rm that will move stuff to a specified directory? The first bit is easy I know but sorting out the options and checking whether the files/directories exists is causing me problems. Help! This is quite urgent. I'm at a unix seminar &...- Actionboy
