command vi -w /etc/aliases is not opening in VIM editor
gives the following message

vi --help said that:
Code:
-w lines Set scroll amount to "lines" |
Forget the option, just do
vim (Or vi) /etc/aliases (vi is prob symlinked to vim) |

It is not a good idea to use an old thread. If you have any query you can create a new thread with a proper tittle. For your answer go to this link http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alias now once you understand the meaning this is used in mail server like postfix to give an alias name entry for any existing user on your machine. I hope that clears your doubt. |
