Plan ahead and make backup copies of important config files before making changes and rebooting so you can just rename the backup back in place. but when one must, ed is available. You have to think of it as a typewriter though. It is not capable or aware of a terminal that can display multiple lines - basically you have a keyboard with no arrow keys, no PF keys, no pgup pgdn home end keys to use to talk to ed, and ed is only able to talk back to you by spitting out a single line of output at a time with a carriage return at the end. cat / head / tail / sed can also be used to assemble a new file out of an existing but broken one. -- Jay Brenneman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
