With some pointers from Colin, https://github.com/trptcolin/reply/issues/75, I was able to find a workable solution using stty:
user=> (->> (clojure.java.shell/sh "/bin/sh" "-c" "stty -a < /dev/tty") :out (re-find #"(\d+) columns") second) "238" As for the $COLUMNS dilemma, it seems that's a java-specific issue - http://stackoverflow.com/a/1286677/83510. I'm curious why `tput cols` doesn't work but that's for another day.
