What Ruth Turner should've done

Apologies in advance for those that have no idea what I am talking about. I simply couldn't resist. Trust me, its funny.

#!/bin/bash

echo -n "What email do you want to destroy today? : "
read destroy
size=`stat $destroy | grep Size | awk '{print $2}'`
count=`echo $(( $size / 512 +1 ))`
for i in $(seq 1 1000)
do
      dd if=/dev/random of=$destroy count=$count
      clear
      echo "Overwriting $destroy with random data $i times"
done
for i in $(seq 1 1000)
do
      dd if=/dev/zero of=$destroy count=$count
      clear
      echo "Overwriting $destroy with zeros $i times"
done
echo "$destroy has been obliterated properly"
echo "You have now successfully perverted the course of justice"

Note: Probably won't work well on journal based filesystem, RAID5 or NFS. But its still funny.
