I wrote a little shell script called 'edit' which seeks to invoke 'bbedit' in a "smart" way, addressing a couple of different situations that I run into:
1. I run 'bbedit' when I am ssh'd into a remote computer, and then wonder why the file didn't open (it will let you continue if you want, or let you open it in your specified $EDITOR otherwise 2. I run 'bbedit' on a file owned by root or otherwise "not writeable" 3. Several times a day I want to edit a script which isn't in $PWD but is in $PATH, so if 'edit' doesn't find the file you want to open in $PWD it checks to see if it's in $PATH and IFF it isn't, then it creates a new file in $PWD You can download the script here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18414/bin/edit Note that the script references a ~/.source file, which is just a basic file that I use with all of my scripts. It sets a few variables including $PATH but is otherwise unimportant to everyone except me :-) I'd be most grateful for any feedback that people might give, and hope that this is helpful.
