>I wasn't able to reproduce what you explained...maybe I missed something? > i just do the following: clear /bin/sh EDITOR=vi export EDITOR set -o $EDITOR echo 1 echo 2 echo 3 echo 4 <ESC-.> and this is the output: test# /bin/sh test# EDITOR=vi export EDITOR set -o $EDITOR echo 1 echo 2 echo 3 echo 4 test# test# test# echo 1 1 test# echo 2 2 test# echo 3 3 test# echo 4 4 test# test# test# echo 2 2 test# echo 3 3 test# echo 4 4 test# test# interestingly, echo 1 is not re-executed but the other commands are. dunno what's going on here, but i really find it somewhat dangerous as a default root shell for a unix system (of course, in vi mode)
