Comment 65 for bug 1604750

Hi,

I would just cat that file, as in:

cat $BYOBU_RUN_DIR/cache.$BYOBU_BACKEND/updates-available

On my system this is what it I do:

% cat $BYOBU_RUN_DIR/cache.$BYOBU_BACKEND/updates-available
0 0

So I can see the file has just "0 0" in it at this moment.

You could also use less, more, nano, vi, emacs, etc. - any utility to view
the file contents.
Also do this as you, you do not need to use sudo.

thanks,
mark
