17     =head2 Implements a "trash can" under GNU/Linux with 'libtrash'

20     =head3 Description
21    
22     All stuff here is mainly copied from the libtrash doc.
23    
24     libtrash is a shared library which, when preloaded, implements a trash can under GNU/Linux.
25     This way, your mistakes (at least those of the "rm -rf dir /" class :-)) will no longer cause
26     the loss of a week's work or your system's binaries.
27    
28    
29     =head4 install libtrash
30    
31     apt-get install libtrash
32    
33    
34     or for those of you that aren't running Debian GNU/Linux:
35    
36     wget http://www.m-arriaga.net/software/libtrash/libtrash-latest.tgz
37     tar xzf libtrash-latest.tgz
38     cd libtrash-1.7/
39    
40     edit Makefile for common settings
41    
42     make install (as root)
43

45     =head4 test
46    
47     export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libtrash/libtrash.so
48     rm -r <some_test_file>
49    
50    
51     =head4 enable libtrash at login
52    
53     Include this in your ~/.bash_profile(or for system-wide usage in /etc/profile)
54     to enable libtrash every time you log in (or otherwise start a login shell)

78     =head4 create user specify config
79    
80     - READ /etc/libtrash.conf !!
81     - overwrite default values by setting up a ~/.libtrash for each user:
82    
83     # sample ~/.libtrash:
84     #-------------- snip ---------------------------
85     GLOBAL_PROTECTION = YES
86     INTERCEPT_FOPEN = YES
87     INTERCEPT_FREOPEN = YES
88     INTERCEPT_OPEN = YES
89     IGNORE_HIDDEN = NO
90     IGNORE_EXTENSIONS= o;exe
91     #-------------- end snip ---------------------------
92    
93    
94    
95     =head4 use 'cleanTrash' for cleaning Trash via cronjob
96    
97     - gunzip & copy '/usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/ct2.pl.gz'
98     to '/usr/local/bin/cleanTrash' e.g:
99    
100     'zcat /usr/share/doc/libtrash/examples/cleanTrash/ct2.pl.gz > /usr/local/bin/cleanTrash'
101    
102    
103     - edit '/usr/local/bin/cleanTrash' for local configuration
104    
105    
106    
107     =head5 insert cronjob for root
108    
109     - crontab -e (as root)
110     - insert: 3,13,23,33,43,53 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/cleanTrash

120    
121     READ /etc/libtrash.conf !!
122     If libtrash.so is global enabled via /etc/profile, a DEFAULT or WRONG ~/.libtrash configuration would
123     causes gdm, root writes(if root writes are also protected by lintrash), kde etc. stops working !!
124    
125     solution to disable libtrash in enviroment immediately:
126     - export LD_PRELOAD=""
127

130     =item XTerm
131    
132 jonen 1.2 to get a login shell, start XTerm with '-ls' (~/.profile will not be executed if not)
