rmate - implemented in perl
This is a pure perl implementation of rmate, created because not all unix servers have ruby installed but most if not all do have perl installed.
Install
Installing into ~/bin
can be done simply by executing this command:
curl -L https://raw.github.com/davidolrik/rmate-perl/master/install.sh | bash
If ~/bin
is not already in your PATH
then you may want to add something like this to your shell startup file (e.g. ~/.profile
):
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
Installing into any other directory can be done by supplying the path to install.sh
like this:
curl -L https://raw.github.com/davidolrik/rmate-perl/master/install.sh | bash /dev/stdin /usr/local/bin
If installing outside your home directory, install.sh
will automatically use sudo
.
Usage
rmate [options] file
Call rmate --help
for a list of options. Default options can be set in /etc/rmate.rc
or ~/.rmate.rc
, e.g.:
host: localhost
port: 52698
You can also set the RMATE_HOST
and RMATE_PORT
environment variables.
Notice
Please note that this version of rmate
will open in a new window by default(--new is always set), if you don't like this just add a --no-new
argument to rmate
, You can even abbreviate it as -non
.
