Well, I just did it again.  rm'd files by mistake.

I'd like to replace rm with a program or script that would move or 
rename the files in some mechanical fashion.  Then I could physically
remove the files in a crontab entry.

I was about to go learn enough shell programming to do this, but I 
realized that this must exist in several forms already.  If anyone
has this already they could save me (and perhaps others) some trouble.

Thanks
