Hello,
if the root user wants to write back a file not writable as set by
permissions a force write back (wq! in vi) does not work. Is that
behavior intended? Other OSes as for instance oracle solaris, FreeBSD,
Solaris 10 and so, allow a force write back
/rmd
I can't reproduce; there must be something else at play (like a
read-only mount or unusual acls).
# touch /var/tmp/noway
# chmod 444 /var/tmp/noway
# cat /var/tmp/noway
# vi /var/tmp/noway
(I type "ifoo <ESC> :wq!)
# cat /var/tmp/noway
foo
well, tried this right away..
touch noway
chmod 444 noway
ls >> noway
this worked so...
but leaving a vi-session with :wq! gives me:
"noway"
E504: "noway" is read-only (cannot override: "W" in 'cpoptions')
Press ENTER or type command to continue
some phooney vi* option I dont know might do the trick?
what does " "W" in 'cpoptions' " wants me to point out?
/rmd
