Nuno v1.0b1 - Mar. 3, 2010   Size: 600 B
Nuno (new nano) is a wrapper that creates a time-stamped copy of the file to be edited, then passes this file over to nano. The goal here is to be able to "move back" from a wrong change made to a file. The syntaxe is 'nuno filename'. Used with no parameters or with a non-existing file name, nuno just hands it over to nano. The syntax 'nuno -K filename' removes temporary copies with name 'filename.date-time'. After download, move this script in one of the $PATH directories (e.g. '/usr/local/bin') and make sure it's executable.. This script is provided as an example, comments welcome.
