That's why I said "any system worth it's beef" ;) But yeah, that will be a problem... OK, so what about this perl solution - perl is used elsewhere in tramp; but it does slow down loading a bit... I wonder if you could, instead of sending the implementation to the shell each time, cache it in /tmp with a name unique to the current user. At least then it survives to next reboot, but again, I don't know whether the process of finding the cache file is going to save us any time, compared to just sending it as a shell function. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ If it weren't for C, we'd be writing programs in BASI, PASAL, and OBOL. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
