<summary>You executed a script and while still running, it got accidentally removed. Is it possible to restore the script while it's still running?</summary><br><b>
It is possible to restore a script while it's still running if it has been accidentally removed. The running script process still has the code in memory. You can use the /proc filesystem to retrieve the content of the running script.
1.Find the Process ID by running
```
ps aux | grep yourscriptname.sh
```
Replace yourscriptname.sh with your script name.
2.Once you have the PID, you can access the script's memory through the /proc filesystem. The script will be available at /proc/<PID>/fd/, where <PID> is the process ID of the running script. Typically, the script's file descriptor is 0 or 1.

You can copy the script content to a new file using the cp command:
```
cp /proc/<PID>/fd/0 /path_to_restore_your_file/yourscriptname.sh
```
Replace <PID> with the actual PID of the script and /path_to_restore_your_file/yourscriptname.sh with the path where you want to restore the script.
