Re: Shell function.



you can shorten ev to

ev(){ evince -d ${DISPLAY=:0} ${1+"$@"};}

you might wanna background it from your tty

ev() { evince ${1+"$@"}&}

unless you need to see the display errors
or have an rm $pdf waiting to not fire prematurely

ev () { case $# in

Can improvements be suggested?
