I accidentally created a .zshrc for root with the single line "alias g `gvim`" so when I try to log in as root w/o X running I get: cannot open displayVim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal and I can't kill the process. I'd like to simply delete .zshrc. Thanks. mattSMART To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
