The only way is to restore from backup.
You have a backup, don't you...

If the deletion happened on an idle system, was discovered quickly AND the
machine had been promptly shut down OR the disk removed, a commercial data
recovery service (IBM?) should be able to retrieve the file.

It is very unlikely, but not impossible, that the "oops" happened under such
favorable conditions.

it depends how much you want this script back .. if it s 2 liner then I
would give up now .. however, if it cost a lot to develop (time / man
hours), then you may be able to get it back if it has not been
overwritten on the disk yet ..

check out these bods.. i am not sure how much they charge, but if its
less than the development cost of the script, then give them a go ..

and like someone has already put .. make sure you have a backup next
time ..
