Along those lines, you could use the TIOCSTI ioctl. That would
be system dependant instead of terminal dependant. Like sti.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
char *c;
if (!isatty(0))
return 0;
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
if (i > 1 && ioctl(0, TIOCSTI, " ") == -1)
{
perror("ioctl");
return 1;
}
for (c = argv[i]; *c; c++) {
if (ioctl(0, TIOCSTI, c) == -1)
{
perror("ioctl");
return 1;
}
}
}
return 0;
}
And
PROMPT_COMMAND="sti \$'\05'"

Same problem here.
