% hi,

Hi!


% 
%  I was wondering if you guys know of an easy way to recover files after rm 
% (without -f) has been applied. 

Nope.  Definitely not "easy"; often not "possible".

By the way, does this have anything to do with a bug in the 'rm' program,
or any of the other GNU fileutils?  After all, this list is for reporting
bugs...


% 
% File didn't live long ago to get backed up and it was accidentally deleted. 
% I'm now using rm_secure and linking rm to it but I rather just have teh 
option 
% of restoring file.

I use the MIT/Athena undelete package, myself :-)  I like it because it's
just as fast as rm and doesn't require an archive dir (and thus no mv).


% 
% Could you please help?

Only you can help in this case.  Your best bet is to train yourself to
always think twice before hitting the enter key!


% 
% Thank you for your time and help.

HTH & HAND
