定制一个相对安全的linux命令------delete (代替rm)

        在linux下， 用rm是比较危险的， 删除了的文件不会放到所谓的回收站中， 有很多因rm而“一失足成一天恨”的例子， 下面， 我们考虑来定制一个delete命令， 并模拟做一个回收站， 这样， 即使delete文件/目录， 也会放在自建的回收站中， 相对比较安全。

       

       用shell script来实现， delete文本文件的内容为：

 

#! /bin/bash
#  customize a relatively safer command, namely delete, to substitute rm


# create a dustbin if necessary
if [ ! -d ~/.RecycleBin ]
then 
        mkdir ~/.RecycleBin
fi

# necessary, the shell script file(delete) and the file/directory to be deleted(e.g. a.txt or folder) are not necessarily in the same directory
current_dir=`pwd`

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then 
        echo "Usage: delete file1 [file2 file3 ...]"   # guide to use delete
else 
        echo "My dear, you are about to delete --- :"
        echo $@
		
        read -p "Are you sure to delete it(them)? [y/n]:" user_answer
        if [ "$user_answer" == "y" ] || [ "$user_answer" == "Y" ]
        then  
                for file in $@
                do 
						if [ ${file:(-1)} == "/" ]   # last character
						then
							file=${file%?}  #  cut the last /
						fi
						
                        if [ -f "$current_dir/$file" ] || [ -d "$current_dir/$file" ]
                        then
								# calculate the current date
								current_date=`date`
								current_date=${current_date// /_}     # replace blank with _
								
								dest_file="${file}__DelTime:$current_date"
									
								mv "$current_dir/$file"  "$current_dir/$dest_file"
								mv "$current_dir/$dest_file" ~/.RecycleBin     # move the file/directory to dustbin, not "~/.RecycleBin", but ~/.RecycleBin
						else
                                echo "$file: No such file or directory, my dear!"
                        fi
                done
        else
                echo "No file or directory removed"
        fi
fi

 

       注意， 要对文件加可执行权限。

 

       我们查阅一下PATH的值， 并把delete这个文件放到对应的目录下（如果没有， 可以自建一个目录）， 然后执行一系列的操作， 结果如下：

 

[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/taoge/bin:/home/taoge/bin
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ ls /home/taoge/bin/delete 
/home/taoge/bin/delete
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ ls ~/.RecycleBin/
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ ls
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ touch a.txt; mkdir folder
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ delete a.txt folder
My dear, you are about to delete --- :
a.txt folder
Are you sure to delete it(them)? [y/n]:y
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ touch a.txt; mkdir folder
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ delete a.txt folder/
My dear, you are about to delete --- :
a.txt folder/
Are you sure to delete it(them)? [y/n]:y
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ 
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ 
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ 
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ ls -l ~/.RecycleBin/
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 taoge taoge    0 May  9 22:15 a.txt__DelTime:Sat_May__9_22:16:13_PDT_2015
-rw-rw-r-- 1 taoge taoge    0 May  9 22:16 a.txt__DelTime:Sat_May__9_22:16:38_PDT_2015
drwxrwxr-x 2 taoge taoge 4096 May  9 22:15 folder__DelTime:Sat_May__9_22:16:13_PDT_2015
drwxrwxr-x 2 taoge taoge 4096 May  9 22:16 folder__DelTime:Sat_May__9_22:16:38_PDT_2015
[taoge@localhost learn_shell]$ 

       这个~/.RecycleBin就是我们自建的回收站。 另外要注意: /home/taoge/bin的bin是binary,  是存放二进制文件的目录， 当然在本例中， 我把脚本文件放进去了， 也无妨。 .RecycleBin的bin是dustbin.

 

       OK,  本文先介绍到这里， 上述程序基本能满足要求。 当然， 要做到非常稳健， 还是有一些地方需要改进的(比如， 如果文件或者目录中有空格， 则上述代码有错)。
