Then let's get the other way around (change in /etc/rc):
# Recover vi editor files.
-find /var/tmp/vi.recover ! -type f -a ! -type d -delete
+if [ -d /var/tmp/vi.recover ]; then
+ find /var/tmp/vi.recover ! -type f -a ! -type d -delete
+fi
vibackup=`echo /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.*`
if [ "$vibackup" != '/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.*' ]; then
echo 'Recovering vi editor sessions'
And don't worry about loosing /var/tmp/vi.recover every time you reboot
(unless you really care about loosing the abillity to recover vi edits
between reboots) -- the first time you run vi it will recreate this
directory.
And let me notice that the original script assumes existence of this
directory whereas if I don't run vi I won't get one...
I use this small hack to get around the ugly error message I get every
time I boot with MFS mounted /var/tmp -- suited me well until now.
