[Leaf-user] Default editor in Bering
Hi, I would like to make vi the default editor in Bering. Under Dachstein I simply added "export EDITOR=e3vi" to /etc/profiles to get the vi mode. This doesn't seem to work in Bering. Is there another variable I need to set? Thanks, Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.spl-linux.com ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user

The Editor is exactly the same but there is a default editor set in /bin/edit makeing the whole profile variable Editor not working ;) modify the file /bin/edit and comment the line # Set editor to use: EDITOR=/bin/e3 out set EDITOR in profile and its works.

You may add the following lines (in addition to the one you described in
/etc/profile) to the top of the /bin/edit file:
. /etc/profile
EDITOR=${EDITOR:=/bin/e3}
Then delete the EDITOR=/bin/e3 line below. You can then change the editor
whenever you want through the lrcfg menu by editing the /etc/profile file. Or,
you can just change it in /bin/edit directly if it is a one-time proposition.

I am laughing at myself. I did not realize that /bin/edit already had sourced /etc/profile. --- Chad Carr [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
