You shouldn't have to reboot the router you can edit the file via lrcfg, backup the part that you just changed and then start and stop the required services. Also once you are in lrcfg is it really vi that its using?

As I said , I can edit using lrcfg-menu but it is annoying as you may want to change the file again and you certainly do not want to reboot the router. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dalziel, Josh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'M Lu'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:18 PM Subject: RE: [leaf-user] vi problem > I would copy the file and then do you editing and then copy it over the one that you cant edit. > > Josh > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of M Lu > Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 1:11 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [leaf-user] vi problem > > > Hi, > > I am in the middle of 'vi'-ing a file, and got disconneted from router.
