14     =head2 Implements a "trash can" under GNU/Linux with 'libtrash'
15    
16    
17     =head3 Description
18    
19     All stuff here is mainly copied from the libtrash doc.
20    
21     libtrash is a shared library which, when preloaded, implements a trash can under GNU/Linux.
22     This way, your mistakes (at least those of the "rm -rf dir /" class :-)) will no longer cause
23     the loss of a week's work or your system's binaries.
24    
25    
26     =head4 install libtrash
27    
28     apt-get install libtrash
29    
30    
31     or for those of you that aren't running Debian GNU/Linux:
32    
33     wget http://www.m-arriaga.net/software/libtrash/libtrash-latest.tgz
34     tar xzf libtrash-latest.tgz
35     cd libtrash-1.7/
36    
37     edit Makefile for common settings
38    
39     make install (as root)
40    
41    
42     =head4 test
43    
44     export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtrash/libtrash.so
45     rm -r <some_test_file>
46    
47    
48     =head4 enable libtrash at login
49    
50     Include this in your ~/.bash_profile(or for system-wide usage in /etc/profile)
51     to enable libtrash every time you log in (or otherwise start a login shell)
52    
53     #-------------- snip ---------------------------
54     LIBTRASH=/usr/lib/libtrash/libtrash.so
55    
56     LIBTRASH_dest=$LIBTRASH
57     if test -L $LIBTRASH ; then
58     LIBTRASH_dest="$(dirname $LIBTRASH)/$(ls -l "$LIBTRASH" | \
59     sed -e 's/^.\+ -> //')"
60     fi
61    
62     if test x${LD_PRELOAD+set} = x -a -f "$LIBTRASH_dest" ; then
63     LD_PRELOAD="$LIBTRASH"
64     export LD_PRELOAD
65     if test x$0 = x-bash ; then
66     exec bash ${1+"$@"}
67     else
68     exec $0 ${1+"$@"}
69     fi
70     fi
71     #-------------- end snip ---------------------------

73    
74    
75     =head4 create user specify config
76    
77     - READ /etc/libtrash.conf !!
78     - overwrite default values by setting up a ~/.libtrash for each user:
79    
80     # sample ~/.libtrash:
81     #-------------- snip ---------------------------
82     GLOBAL_PROTECTION = YES
83     INTERCEPT_FOPEN = YES
84     INTERCEPT_FREOPEN = YES
85     INTERCEPT_OPEN = YES
86     IGNORE_HIDDEN = NO
87     IGNORE_EXTENSIONS= o;exe
88     #-------------- end snip ---------------------------
89    
90    
91    
92     =head4 use 'cleanTrash' for cleaning Trash via cronjob
93    
94     - gunzip & copy '/usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/ct2.pl.gz'
95     to '/usr/local/bin/cleanTrash' e.g:
96    
97     'zcat /usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/ct2.pl.gz > /usr/local/bin/cleanTrash'
98    
99    
100     - edit '/usr/local/bin/cleanTrash' for local configuration
101    
102    
103    
104     =head5 insert cronjob for root
105    
106     - crontab -e (as root)
107     - insert: 3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/cleanTrash

117    
118     READ /etc/libtrash.conf !!
119     If libtrash.so is global enabled via /etc/profile, a DEFAULT or WRONG ~/.libtrash configuration would
120     causes gdm, root writes(if root writes are also protected by lintrash), kde etc. stops working !!
121    
122     solution to disable libtrash in enviroment immediately:
123     - export LD_PRELOAD=""
124    
125    
126    
127     =item XTerm
128    
129     to get a login shell, start XTerm with '-ls' (~/.profile will not be execute if not)
