How to recover file if remove (rm) ?
- Thread starter suhaimi

The short answer is no ... there is no way to recover a file once you've done an rm.
However, I read an article once which suggested that a deleted file may be recoverable if you recognize the fact that it was deleted in error immediately. Then there may be steps you can take, but it's a long shot. I'll see if I can find it.
The most common alternative is to write (or make use of) a "recycle bin" script. This script essentially replaces the rm command.

Unless you have a File system with Journaling active, and unless your file is versioned then you are pretty much stuck to your backup..
For linux:
Do a google search next time first and then don't
post to a programmers forum on a sysadmin topic.
Programmers are notoriously inaccurate on these
questions.
