D'you know, I can't remember! I always alias more=less, and a long time ago I had a strange problem with looking at a /proc file with more (i.e. less). Someone advised me that the dynamic nature of the files in /proc and the way less opens, closes and generally manipulates file handles didn't get on. I switched to cat'ing the file and it was 100% reliable. Perhaps the problems have been fixed now. YMMV.
Incidentally, don't look at /proc entries with 'more' as someone suggested. Use this instead:
cat /proc/<whatever> | more
That would have been me that suggested that. Obviously, there's some sort of problem with using the method I suggested. Could you enlighten me (and the rest of the list) what I was doing wrong? I'd love to know and I can't be the only person that was using the method I suggested. Hey, I'm not proud. :-)
