Note that it says that it should be replaced with a script that works,
and (on a system that's likely to have a bunch of vi recover events)
look at /var/tmp/vi.recover.
note that there are files leftover, e.g.:
-rw------- 1 cgd wheel 444 Mar 12 2000 recover.12169d
-rw------- 1 cgd wheel 441 Jun 8 17:57 recover.24652d
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 0 Aug 17 1999 vi.00189b*
-rwx------ 1 cgd wheel 69632 Aug 7 1999 vi.02072b*
-rwx------ 1 cgd wheel 0 Mar 31 23:46 vi.06442b*
-rwx------ 1 cgd wheel 98304 Oct 28 1999 vi.08228b*
-rw------- 1 cgd wheel 204800 Mar 12 2000 vi.12169b
-rwx------ 1 cgd wheel 10240 Jul 24 1999 vi.15010b*
-rw------- 1 cgd wheel 55296 Jun 8 18:40 vi.24652b
the vi.* files which are executable are in fact incomplete recovery
files.
note that src/usr.bin/vi/recover/recover.script provides a more
complete recovery script.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above.
>Fix:
convert the rc.d recovery script to use the one from the usr.bin/vi
tree.
