A couple times I've emptied my recycler, and then an hour later decided  
that I shouldn't have... <sick rueful grin>

I implemented it by adding these lines to the /private/adm/daily script  
on my administration machine.
# Empty the trash 
 rm -rf /u/arafel/*/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*
 rm -rf /u/fenris/*/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*
 rm -rf /u/scratch/.NextTrash/*/*
 rm -rf /u/cruncher/.NextTrash/*/*

Arafel and fenris are home directory servers.  Scratch and cruncher are  
nfs'd for other reasons.

This way, it gets emptied only at night. Much as the janitors do with  
our real wastebaskets.
