Due to lack of disk space on a server I needed a mechanism for automatically deleting RAR archives after their contents had been extracted. I couldn’t find any particularly neat way to do this with a shell script so I knocked up the following quick & dirty patch for unrar.
The patch applies cleanly to version 5.1.6 of the unrar source as follows:
Rar File Opener
The compiled unrar binary will have the following extra option:
Which you can use with the -e or -x commands e.g.:
And RAR Password Genius begins to work to recover RAR file password. After you click 'Start' button, RAR Password Genius will automatically run and recover password protected RAR file password.

My suggestion would be to use the -t command to test your archive(s) first. I take no responsibility for any screw-ups you may cause yourself if you use this patch – caveat emptor!
