Thanks Steve !
interesting how you handle the "new file" creation. I was under the
impression that bbedit could override it via sftp/scp. Another challenge is
the handling after "sudo su - toor" as then all SSH information is gone. (
Some applications can't handle sudo - especially when an error occurred and
- from a user point of view - sudo is stuck. So I am using the ZSH
customised toor user for these root actions.
There might be a possibility to use sudoedit instead a complete switch to
toor, but that would also mean taht I need to wrap your scripting in
something like rbbedit as sudoedit is calling SUDO_EDITOR ...
Anyhow, good to know there are some workarounds available, while BareBones
is not supporting such a use case out of the box.
