There is nothing to clean in there. I don't know what messages you're talking about in the log files, but my guess is that what generated those messages is some script that checks file system for being full and does not ignore /proc (and it should do that). It certainly has nothing to do with vi. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Global Recycling Network Inc. http://grn.com > http://grn4.recyclenet.com > Yegor D.
