trash command line

Is there a way to send a file to the kde 3.4 trash bin from the command line?

According to this http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=110513719006887&w=2 there is a commandline program called ktrash

And you can use kfmclient as well as David points out :D

Great. Here's a trash script for lazy folks like me.

#!/bin/bash
# Move files to trash:/

kfmclient move "$@" trash:/

Work in progress.

KTrash in filrenameutils-1.6 supports the KDE-3.4 trash can.
It's still mostly untested though.

KDE trash command line utility

The KTrash utility can also be used to powerfully removed
(and then restore) files with "find". For example, to delete all the kbounce
game files:

KTrash -e
find /opt/kde -name *bounce* | xargs KTrash

You can then save the ~/.local/share/Trash directory
and optionally restore it at a later time, restoring all the
deleted files with

KTrash -R

A little bit off topic, but still about scripting and trash: some time ago I wrote a script to automatically remove all files in the trash older than a certain amount of days.

It might be interesting :)
