conditional rc.

2002-08-14 Thread Bo Peng 

Hi, there

Can I do something like:

if have_X
  editor = gvim -f
else
  editor = vim
end

in my .muttrc file?

Thanks.
Bo

I don't think so, but instead of putting something like that in each
application's configuration file, you can put it in a script,
i.e. /usr/local/bin/editor or ~/bin/editor

%=
!/bin/sh

editor=jed
serverrunning=`ps -u ${USER} | grep emacsserver`
if [ ${serverrunning} !=  ] ; then
editor=emacsclient
fi
exec ${editor} $
%

and setenv (or export) EDITOR editor will take care of most things, and
specifying editor in the app's config file will take care of the rest.

set editor=[ -z $DISPLAY ]  vim || gvim -f

(untested) should do for bash.
