Question /etc/hosts via ssh
Hi,

I want to change the /etc/hosts file on the hmc. I am connecting via ssh but any vi command is not allowed.

Can someone please let me know how to do this?

Many Thanks.
Kees

"-bash: vi: command not found" is what I get, sorry for being a complete idiot but i'm very new to all of this

I don't know any other editors that I can use as I've only ever vi.

Here you go.

hscroot@ehchmc01:~> echo $PATH
/hmcrbin/:/usr/hmcrbin
hscroot@ehchmc01:~> /usr/bin/vi /etc/hosts
-bash: /usr/bin/vi: restricted: cannot specify `/' in command names
