Ick. I can't imagine why this would be so: stuff that happens in one shell connection should not influence stuff that happens in another shell connection. Of course, the word "should" here means that there probably is some influence which I'm not seeing. > Should tramp check for tools on the remote machine and refuse to > work if they don't exist?? Does it do this already? I knew about this problem for some time, but I haven't had time to implement it. If there are any volunteers, I would be happy. Else I will try to do it some day. kai -- Simplification good! Oversimplification bad! (Larry Wall) |
