Hi there,
Where is that file stored at? If it is in the
/tmpdirectory, I would recommend just changing the location so that the file does not get deleted in the first place.Besides that, you can make the file immutable by using the
chattr +i your_filecommand, that way even the root user will not be able to delete the file.Best,
Bobby
