==Limitations== #This will only move to the recycle bin files/directories that were deleted using the rm command in the Command Line Interface. #It will not recycle files/directories deleted via a Samba Share (i.e. when using a ftp client such as windows file explorer) #It will not recycle files/directories deleted by the Synology "File Station" #It will not recycle files/directories deleted using the rm command whilst inside some subshell programs such as screen or mc unless you have configured them to load alias definitions on starup. #If you delete a file/directory with the same name twice or more, before the first has been purged from the recycle bin, the previous versions of the file will have a version number tagged onto the end of the file/directory name. #If you wish to restore a deleted file/directory, you will need to manually move/copy it from the recycle bin directory back to where you want it. This you will have to do within the 7 days before the file/directory is purged from the recycle bin. You can change the default setting of 7 days if required. #Aliases are not followed in scripts. If you want to use your recycle bin script in another script you will have to call it directly.
