Yes, generally, this is how you do it. >#2 >If I am connected via ssh and get disconnected how do I login and kill >the old >session? You shouldnt need to. If you mean that you want to kill some application that you started in your old session, then try the kill (man kill) command. >#3 >When upgrading via cvsup how do I tell what has changed to see if it is >worth >upgrading after running the cvsup session? Save the output from cvsup. If you're using the GUI, just click the save button, and it will save in the "./cvsup.log" (or something like that). If you're using the command line cvsup, I cant recall any flag for output saves, but you can always use the script (man script) command, like so... # script /home/youruser/yourlog.file ...some info... # cvsup yourcvsupfile ...updating updating updating... # <ctrl-d> ...done... Now, check the /home/youruser/yourlog.file for changes and updates. >Thanks for any help. > >--Troy > HTH /Jalle >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
