How can I trash a file from the command line?

Question

Can I make a shell script trash files instead of delete them?

In the past I used gvfs-trash but this doesn't appear to exist in Ubuntu 10.10.

"This question has been asked *before*..." Hmm, that could use some rewording. — ændrük, Sep 17 '14 at 06:11

Make sure you have the gvfs-bin package installed. gvfs-trash is part of it.
