or even better, to mcedit... mcedit (and mc itself) is in my opinion one of the least known about but incrediably handy tools around for console work..
I actually prefer using mc in an xterm, or mostly just a console, to using konqueror or other gui tools.. for ftp, text browsing, file browsing and editing, symlink editing, permission editing, tons of stuff.. If you ever get the desire to explore your filesystem and want to quickly open, look and and close lots of files and stuff, ,you simply can't go past mc.. I have been using it for so long now, that I sometimes find it annoying to be working on a box that doesn't have it installed.. also, mc will work just fine in remote admin, as it will display and work in any telnet or ssh client on any platform.. I use it all the time in Terra term Pro on win2000 to work on remote linux boxes... its much faster then moving around the file system manually and starting your editor when you get to a file you want. and it has a console prompt at the bottom at all times, so you can still use cd /xxx if its faster then using the arrow keys.. I know I should sneer at this little app after using linux for 8 years, but I still find it terribly handy. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ed Kasky Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 3:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] cron One can also change their EDITOR env setting to pico should one be so inclined...
