The way git does it is to only set the LESS environment variable if it's not set. If the LESS environment variable is set, then git doesn't touch it. This seems like a nice balanced way to approach the situation, and it would be wonderful if systemd/journalctl did the same thing as git. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
