Hi all,
In Linux,if we delete a file using 'rm' is there any way to get it back without using any 3rd party tools?

Thanks in advance,

I got the answer..
I used function..
create a dir Trash and move all the deleted files into it.
del()
{
mv $1 ~/Trash/
}

Hi,

If you have atleast 1 other process using an already deleted file, You can retrieve it using the /proc filesystem and lsof

If you once delete it, you have no chance to get it back. You would need to make backups of that files.

how to recover a file without create a recycle bin or without modifying rm command

 

You can recover those files from available backups. If your server has backup cycle running on it then you can check the available backups and can retrieve those files from backup.
