Hey, in addition to this.. in Darwin (i.e. Mac OS X) which uses tcsh as the default, it will ask you for confirmation rather then just taking off without you. for example: [localhost:~] root# em tmpfile OK? rm tmpfile? here I hit n for "no" which causes the following reaction: [localhost:~] root# em tmpfile OK? rm tmpfile? no em: Command not found. [localhost:~] root# and so it didn't just take off and rm the file. On that other hand: [localhost:~] root# eamcs tempfile OK? emacs tempfile? Here I hit y for yes and it open emacs: [localhost:~] root# eamcs tempfile OK? emacs tempfile? yes [localhost:~] root# Is there a way to have bash do that? Just got curious when I saw this post :-) ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
