Hi,
As a VO newcomer who needs remote ssh access I've been playing with
the terminal. So far I find it to be better than most Windows ssh
clients but so far not good enough to spend hours efficiently
working on things. I've noticed that any command that generates more
than a single line of output (say "gcc -v" but weirdly excluding
ls) gets truncated and my prompt is just read instead. I seem to be
able to mitigate this by setting an empty prompt but that's an
imperfect solution. It appears that the reading of the prompt or
the "new line" announcement is muting the command output. Anyone
come across this and have a solution? Is there any way to turn off
the "new line" announcement, I couldn't find anything in the
verbosity menu.
By interacting with the terminal window (it gets identified as a
scroll
area) I can review the screen but usually only a few lines back, to go
further I need route VO to the top of the window and then go down to
where
I want. Again, anyone found this problem and have a solution?
More generally what have folks done with terminal to improve its
accessibility? I've played with cursor types, I think block blinking
currently works best and also looked at the various terminal emulation
modes. VT100/102 seemed to be best there. I'll be doing Java and C
development on a remote cluster and working with things like Apache
and MySQL. I've seen references to others here doing similar things
but with Terminal speaking as it is now I just don't see how it
could be an effective and efficient platform for me.
If it's a factor I'm using 10.5.0, i.e. no updates on a PPC-based
Power Mac.
Thanks,
Garry
