� The scope of this project is to create a script that will simulate the functionality of recycle bin.
� With this script, users will be able to

  • Enter into the recycle bin mode. During this mode, all files deleted will be sent to the recycle bin. The recycle bin will be common to all users.
  • View contents of the recycle bin (his/her file(s) only).
  • Retrieve a particular file from the recycle bin (his/her file(s) only). .
  • Delete contents of the recycle bin (his/her file(s) only).
  • A super user should be able to view, retrieve and delete files of any user. When the super user performs an action on a file that does not belong to him/her, a mail confirmation should be sent to the user, which states the files operated on and the action performed by the super user on them.
  • Permanently delete files also (i.e., NOT send the file to the recycle bin).
  • Periodically dump the contents of the recycle bin. (The period can be user defined.)
  • After each periodic purge, mails will be sent to all users whose files were permanently removed from the recycle bin.
  • Exit the recycle bin mode. During this mode, all files deleted will NOT be sent to the recycle bin.
