The display can be scrolled +if the output is wider or longer than the screen. + +Vii can also repeatedly execute a command (at a configurable interval) and the +most recent output is displayed. This is useful for status monitoring where the +command itself does not have a repeatable or curses interface. + +WWW: http://vii.sourceforge.net/ + +- ehaupt +ehaupt@critical.ch |
