After seeing the link at http://www.interworks.com/blogs/ckaukis/2010/02/11/simple-command-line-trash, I decided to do this… a couple other notes…

 

Enter  “sudo nano /bin/trash” without quotes, enter your password

Enter the following two lines:

#!/bin/sh
mv "$*" ~/.Trash/

Control-X to save

Enter “sudo chmod +x /bin/trash”

again, your password

Done…you’ve now can send to trash instead of the more dangerous “rm -rf …”
