Is there any way to undo an rm in terminal? Probably not, but thought I'd ask...
The short answer is "no." There's no "trashcan" or "wastebin" involved. Only with tremendous luck and heroic effort could you hope to recover the contents of the file to which you applied the stock "rm" command. I've known users (dare I say, "lusers") to override rm with a script that moves the target files to a trashcan folder. I don't suppose it will be long now before we have a Linux counterpart to the latest Mac OS's "Time Machine" functionality.
