I am using vi to alter some profile scripts for the installation of unidata and have ran into a problem.
I am using the commands;
UDT_EDIT=vi
LPREQ=/usr/spool/1p/admins/1p/printers
NOCHKLPREQ=1
UDTHOME=/u/ud
UDTBIN=/u/ud/bin
PATH=$PATH:/u/ud/bin:/utils
export LPREQ NOCHKLPREQ UDTHOME UDTBIN PATH UDT_EDIT

Whats happening is that this file is not altering the directory that it should do and i am wondering if anyone could tell me whats wrong with the file/if there is some subroutine that redhat Enterprise 4 has that is not allowing me to do this
regards
dave

Dave,
I work with UniVerse on the AIX platform so I may not have everything exactly right, but I would suspect that you do not have the correct permissions set on the file [missing "w"rite rights] (can you execute "ls -la" at the system level while attached to the correct directory?) OR that you are not the administrator or owner of that file. (how was your user account created?)

It seems that the power of linux has corrected itself after 3 reboots. Why three, im not sure, but unidata is working fine now.
Thanks for your help
Regards
Dave
