Hi
I just wanted to type "rm *~" to kill the backup files in my folder. Accidently, I slid of the key and mistyped the command. So it became "rm *" an all my data is los. Under MS-DOS there is a command called "undelete" which one can use to recover data. How is the command under Suse Linux 10.0?
Which is why I always recommend to people to use rm -i -if- they are using -any- wildcards at all. It might be a pain in the butt to answer 'y' for each file but in this case you would have saved more than just time. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
