When I ssh into a remote production server I would like the colour scheme of my terminal window to change to something brigh and scary, preferably red, to warn me that I am touching a live scary server. How can I make it automatically detect that I have ssh'ed somewhere, and if that somewhere is on a specific list, change the colour sc...
I'm running zsh as the default shell on a Ubuntu box, and everything works fine using gnome-terminal (which as far as I know emulates xterm). When I login from a windows box via ssh and putty (which also emulates xterm) suddendly the home/end keys no longer work. I've been able to solve that adding these lines to my zshrc file... bind...

I have a very simple TCP server written in C. It runs indefinitely, waiting for connections. On Windows, I use select to check for activity on the socket, and if there isn't any, I have the following code to allow me to quit by hitting 'q' on the keyboard: if( kbhit() ) { char c = getch(); if( c == 'q' ) break; } This doesn't wo...
I'm using ccl/openmcl on Mac OS X. (latest versions of both). When the lisp prompt is displayed, using the cursor keys to navigate the current line results in escape codes, rather than movement, eg: Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.2-r9226-RC1 (DarwinX8664)! ? (^[[D Here I've pressed the ( key, and then the left cursor key. ...
Hello y'all I'm developing a system that needs to execute Intersystems Cache Terminal Scripts. When I run a routine inside the regular Caché terminal or a telnet terminal, Cache executes the routine until the end with no problems. But when I try to run the same routine, but this time calling the routine within a Caché terminal Script, ...
When setting the export path in Unix, example: export PATH=$PATH: $EC2_HOME/bin If I quit terminal and open it back up to continue working, I have to go through all the steps again, setting up the paths each time. I'm wondering how I can set the path and have it "stick" so my system knows where to find everything the next time I open ...

I want to write a C# application where it connects to a telnet server and communicates to the server. I was wondering how a telnet server sends information to the client. I have looked (skimmed) over the Telnet RFC and looked at the incoming packets coming in from the server and still a bit confused. Can somebody give me an example how t...
I am writing a console application which makes use of the F1 key (for help). Unfortunately, while Konsole (of KDE) doesn't use this key, Gnome Terminal does, so the F1 key becomes inaccessible to my application. I don't think there's a way to detect whether the F1 key is already mapped in the GUI side of things (Gnome Terminal), but if...
As a simple example, I want to write a CLI script which can print '=' across the entire width of the terminal window. #!/usr/bin/env php <?php echo str_repeat('=', ???); or #!/usr/bin/env python print '=' * ??? or #!/usr/bin/env bash x=0 while [ $x -lt ??? ]; do echo -n '='; let x=$x+1 done; echo ...
Why does the following have the effect it does - it prints a terminal full of random characters and then exits leaving a command prompt that produces garbage when you type in it.

Does anyone know of a JS-based terminal client? Either something that initiates an SSH connection with a remote host or even something that simply communicates with a remote PHP script to execute commands and retrieve output. Does such a thing exist? ...
Since Terminal appeared I've saved as ~/mySrvr.term a modified stock .term file which opens to execute an ssh to a remote server and to modify the appearance. I have NOT been able to save "use option key as meta" for emacs-ery; there's no slot for it in the term file and I'm reluctant to wrestle with a keyboard dictionary file. Am I miss...
This has always bugged me. When I ssh or telnet to a Unix server (whatever flavour) it always manages to guess correctly the terminal type I am logging in from and so the keyboard always acts 'normally' ... i.e. the backspace key works. But then when I have successfully logged in, it often guesses incorrectly the terminal type I am usi...
