Hi Jeff,

Are you referring to HP Edit for MPE/ix?

If so - try:

Rgds,

Hi jeff

i am sorry..but to be honest with you, I am not sure..

all I know is when I go to the command "edconfig filename" then it launches the editor..

sound familiar?

[Jeff Schussele]

All I'm finding on a google search is references to it as a Linux util as well as an AIX util.
And a lot of refs to it as a boot util for multiple partitions on a DOS system.
I also saw one page referencing make utils as well.

Try searching google for edconfig as I'm not familiar with this at all. A search of HP docs only turns up the HP Edit reference.

Sorry,
Jeff

So what OS are you using when you run this edconfig command?

I am using UX 11.0

I have never heard of that command in HP-UX. I know some MPE system applications used to have something like that.
Where does hte command reside?
What type of file is it?
I suspect someone may have written a script or executable for your site specific needs.

i will have to dig deeper and see whats going on..

Some things to try to help you figure out what and / or where the edconfig file is.

# whence edconfig
Will tell you exactly what is ececuting

# alias edconfig
Just in case someone set an alias

# file /path/to/edconfig
(where the path comes from the 'whence edconfig' above)
Will tell you if it is a binary file or a script. If it is a script you can look at it with cat, more, vi, whatever floats your boat.

I would guess that it is either an alias to something, maybe even to vi, or a script someone wrote.
