>Description:
vi (nvi, really), sends out email when it discovers that a
file was being edited during a disorderly machine shutdown:
>On Sun Nov 24 13:08:39 2002, the user rdm was editing a file
>named About_Us.htm on the machine cfcl.com, when it was
>saved for recovery. You can recover most, if not all, of the
>changes to this file using the -r option to vi:
>
> vi -r About_Us.htm
It might be useful to add some text to this message, saying that
/var/tmp/vi.recover is the default recovery file directory. (I
know this is in the man page for vi, but an explicit note would
also be useful.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit a file. Have a power outage (:-).
>Fix:
Add some text to the email.
