I have a FreeBSD production server and want to create a development-test server on my Vista laptop using a dump of the production server running in VIrtualBox. I use Putty to access my production server and can resize the console by dragging a corner of the Putty window. However, the VirtualBox console doesn't to be resizeable (i.e. has a fixed 80-column display width). The problem is when commands can't return useful information because their console output is truncated at 80 columns (e.g, "ps -faux | grep httpd" doesn't return anything and incorrectly implies apache isn't running when the reason is that the output from ps is truncated before getting to grep).
Does anyone have a solution to this? I was hoping to avoid modifying the configuration of the FreeBSD VIrtualBox vm (creating differences between the production server and the dev-test server), but any solution would be better than none.
