VIRECOVER(8) System Manager’s Manual VIRECOVER(8)

NAME

vi.recover — report recovered nvi edit sessions

SYNOPSIS

/usr/libexec/vi.recover

DESCRIPTION

The vi.recover utility sends emails to users who have nvi(1) recovery files.

This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery and instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the file. This is done by using the −r option with nvi(1). See the −r option in nvi(1) for details.

If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length, then they have not been modified, so vi.recover deletes them to clean up. vi.recover also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or do not have a corresponding backup file.

vi.recover is normally run automatically at boot time.
