trash - A trash bin for files and directories instead of deleting them directly

Installation:

Place the file in your desired path and it in your $HOME/.bashrc or in /etc/.bashrc:

. /path/to/trash.sh

Add cleanup job to your cron:

# .trash cleanup of all contents (files and dirs) older than 31 days every morning at 06:00
0 6 * * 0 find /home/YOURHOME/.trash/ -mtime +31 -delete

As the Script runs it first checks if $HOME/.trash/ (your trash bin) in your home dir exists and creates it if missing.

trash_list to list all files and dirs that you put in the trash in the last 30 days
trash_empty to remove all files and dirs in your trash
trash_rm FILE1 DIR2 ... to delete specific files and directories in your trash
