Remove Command using a trash box.



`rm` command removes files/directories from the disk and they are not recoverable.

It is stressful because we are used to benefit from the trash box on a GUI system, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc..



`trash` command brings you the removal command with recoverable files/directories.



:white_check_mark: current version requires [sentaku](https://github.com/rcmdnk/sentaku).



If you use Homebrew or cURL to insatll, sentaku will be installed automatically, too.



If you install the script directly, please install sentaku or use

[standalone version](https://github.com/rcmdnk/trash/tree/standalone)

(standalone version could be obsolete).



## Installation



On Mac, you can install scripts by [Homebrew](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew):



    $ brew tap rcmdnk/rcmdnkpac

    $ brew install rcmdnk-trash



If you have [brew-file](https://github.com/rcmdnk/homebrew-file), add following lines to Brewfile:



    tap 'rcmdnk/rcmdnkpac'

    brew 'rcmdnk-trash'



then, do:



    $ brew file install



Or if you write like:



    tapall 'rcmdnk/rcmdnkpac'



and do `brew file install`, you will have all useful scripts in

[rcmdnkpac](https://github.com/rcmdnk/homebrew-rcmdnkpac).



You can also use an install script on the web like:



    $ curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/rcmdnk/trash/install/install.sh| sh



This will install scripts to `/usr/bin`

and you may be asked root password.



If you want to install other directory, do like:



    $ curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/rcmdnk/trash/install/install.sh|  prefix=~/usr/local/ sh



Or, simply download the script and set where you like.



:warning: Install [sentaku](https://github.com/rcmdnk/sentaku), too

if you download directly.

     ^B    : Page up

     gg    : Go to top    (if n is defined, go to n)

    export MAXTRASHBOXSIZE=1024 # Max trash box size in MB

                                # Used for clean up

    export MAXTRASHSIZE=\`echo \$MAXTRASHBOXSIZE \"*\" 0.1|bc -l|cut -d. -f1\`

        # Trashes larger than MAXTRASHBOXSIZE will be removed by 'rm' directly

    "



## Tips



### Alias



Following alias is useful to use trash:



    alias del="trash -i -r" # Do not confirm, remove directory, too



### Clean up



You may be want to clean up trash box regularly to keep the box not too much.



To clean up regularly, first please set `MAXTRASHBOXSIZE` as described

in above help.



Then, `trash -c` will clean up the trash box until it becomes less than `MAXTRASHSIZE`.



You can set it as a cron job like:



    0 1 * * * /path/to/trash -c



to execute every night (1am, 00min).

    



In addition, you can empty your trash box for trash by



    $ trash -C
