Any error/exception u are getting ?
Have u ftp'ed the files from some other place ?
What is the value of:
- $EDITOR
- $TERM
please clean your swap filesystem! it is full!
swap 5.9G 168K 5.9G 1% /var/run
vi needs space in /var/run. the best thing to do is (if possible) a reboot (init 6). if you can't do a reboot, delete unneeded files in /tmp.
hth,
DN2
Is it taking time to open the file or vi displays that it is unable to open file ?
Probably to check that, you could press ctrl-c after opening the file in vi.
That way, partially file will be displayed in the editor.
IMHO, swap is only 1% used not 1% remaining. So, doesn't look like a swap issue.
venkatramana - Please post the error you are encountering in detail so that it can be persued further.
Thanks,
enc
first of all thx 4 ur kind responce...
when i open the file by vi editor..
again it is displaying the file name with
double inverted cotes...
when i hit enter,it is showing "the file is too big to open"...
This error occurs when the file size is greater than 2GB which vi cannot handle. But according to you the file is 4MB in size.
Do a du -h <your_file_name> to see its correct size.
Does vim help?
then how to open a file which is
greater than 2gb
wooops :o... my fault...
see the title of "error which i encounterd"..
i gave a wrong info that file is 4mb,
it's 4 gb.
Am quite interested to know out of curiosity that what are you trying to achieve opening such a huge file.
Is it just read the contents - more, less, etc should do
inline modification of values - sed would do that
check whether trailer is populated - tail would do
and with header - head would do
so what is that you want to do after opening the file ? 
it's a log file...and it is reading the conf file(through some methods)
so,i want to check what method is called,
after complition of one method..
i think this can be done by opening a complete file.......
but i can't.
If you are interested to view the file using vi, split the file into smaller parts that are managable by vi. Else try vim or as suggested above cat,more etc should do the trick.
yes....splitting the file....is working well..
once again ...thnk u all....
Funny, I had never heard of less before yesterday. Now I cannot seeem to avoid mentions of it.
