How do I print a file to stdout in xterm?
 
OK. I give up. Would some polite person tell me how do I display a text file in xterm. There is no cat command.

Thanks

No cat? I've got cat. Try 'more filename'. hth

Me too. Via "/bin/cat" which is a symbolic link to busybox.

It's very weird that you don't have 'cat'... Could you please tell me the output of this command?:

$ which cat
$ which busybox

Salut,
Sebas.

Sorry folks. It must have been an Alzheimers moment. Actually more like an Alzheimers day. Cat is there after all. l'm getting old.

That's ok. I've had plenty of those days. Although from what I understand, don't most people start to collect cats when they get older, not lose them? :).
