Every once in a while a question on cocoa-dev gives me the uncomfortable feeling that someone is trying to get help in writing a piece of malware. This is one of them. No offense if that’s not your actual goal, Oleg, but take it as a sign of how negatively people perceive this behavior.

As others have said, if you give us more detail about what the actual purpose of this feature is, maybe we can suggest a better way to do it. Are you trying to make sure a particular file you created gets deleted securely? Emptying the trash isn’t the way to do it, then.
