hi. could you please tell me the command to type at the unix
prompt to access my procmail log?
Unless you're wanting to actually 'view' it. Then, you could use
this at the prompt: view $HOME/.procmail-log
The command 'view' is not standard and indeed I have never used a
system which had it. Better candidates might be pg, more, less, or
even cat.
Gee, I have never used a UNIX system which didn't have it. It's the
equivalent of "vi -R" (the readonly invocation of vi). It certainly
is more "standard" than less.
Even man vi knows it:
VI(1) USER COMMANDS VI(1)
NAME
vi, view, vedit - visual display editor based on ex(1)
SYNOPSIS
[snip]
OPTIONS
[snip]
-R Edit files in read only state. This has the
same effect as the view command.
