Thread: Where is what
Post: RE: Where is what
I don't know which shell you're using, but you can do the same by prefixing the command with \ in most shells (even dash(1)):
Code:% alias ls='ls -l'
% ls
code
data
tmp
% \ls
code data tmp |

Thread: Community gopher hole
Post: RE: Community gopher hole
Should be fixed now. I inadvertently pushed the default index.gph of the server's project, which took precedence over the correct one.
Sorry about that and happy gophering ! |
