conf.maldet option for report viewing in lieu of $EDITOR

[bellwood]

Would it be possible to have a setting for view_report so that we could use another binary other than the ENV $EDITOR?

It would be nice to use a pager (less, etc) for quick viewing rather than stapling up vi, vim, nano, etc

Thank you.

On RHEL in /etc/sysconfig/maldet or deb based systems in /etc/default/maldet you place EDITOR=more, this would accomplish what you are after.

Let me know if a more thoughtful solution would be better and happy to consider.

Thanks

Awesome, thank you very much

I just spent a while reading through the source to figure this out. Just curious why you would want to use $EDITOR here rather than defaulting to more or even just cat? Is it expected that the user would want to manually edit the report @rfxn?

I think it would be a big usability improvement to add a specific flag to just dump the report to stdout, e.g. --dump-report [ID], as this would be useful for generic use, where neither editors nor email are wanted.
