      Oh that's easy. See the red X in the top right corner of your SSH window? You just click that to exit VI. :laugh:

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

        "Window"? "Window"? I used VI in the pre-DOS days! We didn't have so many cycles to spare we could afford graphics! Heck, we could barely run the damn compiler.

          In that case, find the button on the case with overlapping "1" and "0" characters. Then either press (if a momentary switch) or flip (if a toggle) it.

            Ummm... but the computer is a mainframe in another building behind physical security and I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to flip that switch.

            You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

              There're physical power lines between the grid and the building. Borrow a backhoe to disconnect them. You can do the same for the connection to the sites emergency generator. This will trigger a reboot as soon as the mainframe's UPS dies. If the site has a generator this will probably only take a few minutes since the generator would be the primary backup. Sheesh! Why are you making this so difficult? :-\

                  switch to using the terminal next to it - your session will time out in half an hour. When that happens vi will be closed. Or you could call the operators and tell them your session has been disconnected - can they kill it
