I haven't tested it ... I take that back, I just did using the command:

/Developer/Tools/MvMac [filelist] ~/.Trash

I Don't know the syntax off hand but when made into an alias, "rm" will work exactly like dragging files to the Trash. Is good, eh?

Of course you'd need to install the Developer Tools ... but if you're mucking with Terminal, chances are you already have. ;-)

This is an excellent idea. However, take note that MvMac will not work across volumes or filesystems (as noted in the manpage).

beware! mvmac and cpmac have produced undesirable results in the past and there's no indication that these tools have been updated. you should use ditto.
