Subject: bug#6021: 23.1.96; [NEWS] `su' and `sudo' for eshell??
Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:00:21 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <k2v9436bffe1004240100sb5ddf8e3yb4440a8e518131f8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The current 23.2 NEWS file has an entry about su and sudo "internal
commands":
"""
*** The new built-in commands `su' and `sudo' support Tramp.
That means, they change `default-directory' to the new users value,
and let commands run under that user permissions. It works even when
`default-directory' is already remote. Calling the external commands
is possible by `*su' or `*sudo', respectively.
"""
It seems unclear where they can be used, though I found them available
in eshell, is that the correct context?
Thanks, Jens
