in unix variants, rm is like of command which delete files completely. As there is no trash bin option. You have to restore your files from backup (if available).

Unfortunately, NO.

May be you can alias 'rm' to 'rm -i', so that you will be asked for confirmation in the future, before file deletion.

Using RM isn't that dangerous in unix... as it would normally not remove any files ;)

An idea for you could be to use an alias for your rm command... I did this after experiencing a lot of rookie students requesting restore...

alias rm 'rm -i'
