I have uploaded an upgrade of SafeDelete to sunsite.unc.edu. It will
be in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/ until it gets moved to its
proper place:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/shell/safedelete-1.3.tar.gz
SafeDelete is a set of utilities to allow deleted files to be
recovered. The safedelete command serves as an enhancement to
the rm command and saves files to an alternate directory before
actually removing them. Files in this alternate directory are given
a new name so multiple files with the same name can be saved
without having to worry about collisions. As files are deleted a log
file is updated indicating which files can be recovered using the
undelete command.
The undelete command will restore a file to its original directory
(along with its original permissions, times stamps, etc). Undelete
has both a command line and ncurses interface. The ncurses "flavor"
displays a full-screen, scrollable list of all the files a user can
undelete. This comes in handy when you forget which files you still
have available for recovery.
Issue the command: safedelete --version to make sure you have
the most current release.
Release 1.3a enhancements:
- - memory leak in safedelete fixed
- - segmentation faults while running on HP-UX fixed
- - a lock file has been added to serialize access to the
.safedelete.log
- - new options in the .Safedelrc to control actions of lock file
- - the ncurses interface is now optional (see the Makefile
and the INSTALL file for details)
- - the F3 key restriction on the Info window has been removed
- - the Newname window is now exited by using the Escape key
instead of the F3 key
- - additional reliability checks were added
- - code was tested on Linux 1.2.3 and 1.1.59, HP-UX 9.04,
AIX 3.2.5 and SunOS 4.1.4
- - new Makefiles for each platform (Linux, HP-UX, AIX and SunOS)
