Delete files and/or directories

#!/bin/bash
# Filename: Recursive-Wipe
# Author: robz
# Version: 200111
# Script to securely multi-pass erase multiple files and/or directories.
# Put it in your "nautilus-scripts" directory and right click to use.
# Will overwrite file & filename with 2 passes of random data, truncate file
# size then erase the sorry remains. If a directory is erased all directories
# and files within it will receive the same treatment.
# Default gnome-terminal profile actions are used, ie. auto close on exit.
# CAVEAT - this is secure within the limits of a journalling file system.
# See man pages for "wipe or shred" for full explanation.

# Create newline delimited selected files list, handling spaces in file names.
