Can you check this alias?
Hi, I need to create an alias named vi that runs the command /usr/ucb/vi to edit text files. The alias shold turn off the notification of new emails using the biff cmd before executing the vi cmd and turn biff back on after the vi cmd.
What I found on vi in man is /usr/bin/vi ....[+command |-command]filename... What is this "ucb"? I came up with sth like this: alias vi ' /usr/ucb/vi +biff n | -biff y ' vi filename Thanks in advance.
