Drm, pronounced like "dream". It is a tiny tool to avoid tragedies caused by rm. Actually, I did decide to write it after I rmed a whole day's hard-work. It can replace rm in basic function, and support resume deleted files before it reaches the expiration days(e.g. 30 days).

Features

rm a file or directory
View deleted files or directories
Resume deleted objects
Auto-purge delete object after configed TTL days

Getting Started

Installing

MacOS

Download released packages from release page, e.g. drm_v0.1.0_Darwin_x86_64.tar.gz

Run the following commands:

tar -xzf drm_v0.1.0.tar.gz
cd drm
sudo ./scripts/mac/install_mac.sh

Linux

Download binary from release page, e.g. drm_v0.1.0_Linux_x86_64.deb

run the following commands:

sudo dpkg -i drm_v0.1.0_Linux_x86_64.deb

Use

After installation, binary is copied to executable path, and alias to replace rm is added to /etc/profile. Now you can use drm just like rm which you are familiar with.

$ rm --help

This application is used to rm files with a latency.

Usage:
  drm [flags]
  drm [command]

Available Commands:
  help        Help about any command
  list        list all the deleted objects
  restore     restore one or more the deleted objects

Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is /etc/drm/drm.conf) (default "/etc/drm/drm.conf")
  -f, --force           ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt
  -h, --help            help for drm
  -r, --recursive       remove directories and their contents recursively or not
      --version         version for drm

Use "drm [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Delete a directory

Just run rm -rf ./dir or drm -rf ./dir, since they are alias now.

List deleted files

drm list

rm list

And you will see something like:

Name       Path                                 DeleteAt             ID
----       ----                                 --------             --

Resume a file a directory

Run

drm restore testfile

rm restore testfile

Then the file "testfile" will be resumed.
