You don't have to do the first. ie. you can start your "general" plumber and run a separate plumber to isolate anything you want isolated from the general one. You can start a bunch of plumbers with different rulesets and different srv names and mount the one you want before launching whatever program you want to use it. You can quickly isolate an editor instance by preceding it with: bind /dev/null /mnt/plumb/edit That's for incoming plumbs; for outgoing it's /mnt/plumb/send You can create a "man" plumb port and bind this over "edit" for the editor you want to receive man pages. I prefer to read the manual in page(1), where you can do a similar thing to isolate your manpage instance of page from your regular img/doc instance. You can get as bespoke as you like. aiju wrote ptrap(4) for 9front but in my experience this is not actually necessary given the mechanisms already made available by the plumber and other conveniences like bind supplied by the system. Perhaps you need to think creatively to get there but it is very satisfying. > So… what do y’all usually do? Run a single instance of my editor of choice (not acme) :) Have fun, umbraticus ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tb77bce4699e6922a-M4744ad81f7eb5c2f1157314e Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
