there's a much simpler way...

this is way complicated when alias rm /bin/rm -i will ask you for confirmation.

I currently have rm aliased to rm -i, but its SOOOO annoying because most of the time I AM deleting the correct thing. with the script, I don't have to confirm everything.... if I make a mistake, I just go fetch it out of the /tmp directory (or wherever I'm putting it).

Great idea!
