Doesn't matter. The standard definition for /tmp (per FHS) is "contains=20 files that are not expected to persists across different invocations of=20 a program". Never mind reboots, if you just exit and restart vi, it=20 cannot expect the temp file to still be there. vi is a sane program and will in all likelihood respect this=20 almost-universal standard. If anyone wants different behaviour (can't=20 think why...) then configure vi to use a different directory as a=20 scratch pad =2D-=20 Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
