[11:58] <waldo323> good morning
[13:47] <rick_h> Snowy morning
[13:47] <rick_h> Roads are fuuuun!
[13:49] <waldo323> it was raining when I got to work
[13:49] <waldo323> I guess it is being michigan out
[13:50] <_stink_> in the 10 minutes i was out to take my boys to school
[13:51] <_stink_> it went from sleet to big fluffy snow
[13:51] <waldo323> yikes, sounds dangerous out.     vim question,  i'd like to open vim with the cursor at a line which has particular text is there a way to do this directly with vim?  otherwise I figure I can find the line number some other way and go from there
[13:55] <_stink_> good segue there waldo323
[13:57] <_stink_> i can't think of a way.
[14:00] <waldo323> thank you :)
[14:09] <waldo323> oops, I forgot I couldn't enter vim directly for cron anyway and I don't think crontab -l accepts line numbers
[15:05] <cmaloney> Good morning
[15:05] <cmaloney> I'm glad I don't have to drive in this
[15:05] <cmaloney> the lids on the trash bins were covered with ice
[15:05] <cmaloney> waldo323: You likely want sed
[15:06] <rick_h> +1 to sed, and awk! can't have sed without awk!
[15:07] <rick_h> well, you can. but it's much less cool that way
[15:07] <cmaloney> heh
[15:07] <cmaloney> Although I think I misread the question
[15:09] <cmaloney> But in the process I learned about a few vim command line options
[15:59] <waldo323> can i use that(sed/awk) coupled with contab -e ?
[16:02] <rick_h> sure
[16:09] <waldo323> I'm not seeing options for crontab to pass arguments to the text editor (vim)
[16:11] <waldo323> I'd searched previously and thought perhaps my search fu wasn't quite working. it isn't a big deal, more of a it would be nice if there was something to speed the process up
[16:40] <waldo323> I think the better option is to move management of cron to ansible :)
[17:12] <cmaloney> Yeah, ansible would be my choice for cron
[17:12] <cmaloney> or moving files into cron.d
[17:12] <cmaloney> rather than manage one large crontab
[17:14] <cmaloney> Oh, this looks handy: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/134906/how-do-i-list-all-cron-jobs-for-all-users
[17:14] <cmaloney> https://stackoverflow.com/a/137173/535883
[17:14] <cmaloney> (in particular)
[20:43] <waldo323> oh neat
[20:43] <waldo323> thanks
[20:44] <waldo323> it is helpful to see things all in one place
