Well, the laziness would imply I'd rather it be there to start with. :) I usually use this for quick serial consoles. If you changed tip to accept arbitrary parameters in this manner, that would work, but why not just leave 'cu'? I never use tip myself, so I'd vote to axe tip if we had to get rid of one. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
