- Er... Isn't that exactly what the standard Workbench trashcan does? Yes
- I know, that doesn't work from the CLI but couldn't you just do an alias
- in shell-startup like:
-
- Alias del c:move [] sys:trashcan/
-
- providing you use one of the available move commands etc. Then once every
- few days you could either manually empty your trashcan or write a script
- to do it for you.
