virecover
utility sends emails to users who have
vi(1) recovery files.
This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery
and instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the
file. This is done by using the -r
option with
vi(1). See the
-r
option in
vi(1) for details.
If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length,
then they have not been modified, so virecover
deletes them to clean up. virecover
also removes
recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or do not have a
corresponding backup file.
virecover
is normally run automatically at
boot time using /etc/rc.d/virecover.
recover.script
, is from
