Well, the "exit" works to exit just about any shell. It will get you out of the chroot shell, or close an xterm, as well as exiting the su shell. It will also log you out from the command line interface.On Thu, 14 Apr 2005 12:44:53 +0100 Anne Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

How do I end viewing man pages in konsole, so that I get back to the command line to do something. Thanks
Just type 'q' to quit :-)
HTH,

Thanks Frans and Marek :-) dumb question I know!
Hey - you don't know how many times I had to just close konsole before I found it <g>. I didn't know how to get out of a su in konsole, either. It must have been months later when someone told me to type 'exit' for that. It's nice to see such consistency isn't it? ;-)

Heaving a great sigh of relief! :-) I've been meaning to ask but then forget. I've been closing konsole (did to get out of su too for a while) and wondering if it contributed to my system becoming so corrupted. Consistency is good :-)

You can also use "logout" to exit a su shell. It is also the normal way to log out of the CLI.
Now, as far as exiting when viewing a man page from the CLI, this is controlled by the program that is used to display the man page. By default, "less" is used on most Linux systems. But you can change this.
-P pager
Specify which pager to use. This option overrides the MANPAGER
environment variable, which in turn overrides the PAGER
variable. By default, man uses /usr/bin/less -isR.If you wanted to, you could do something like:
man -P nano man
And view the man page in nano. Then the command to exit would be Ctrl-X to exit nano.
