Thanks to: Terrance L Eck Michael Johnson Stefan Troeger who suggested the "reset" command. Cleaned it all up. Glenn ==================== My original message: ====================
While working on compiling a program, I "grep"d for a function name, but inadvertantly left off the ".c" file extension. When grep displayed a line of one of the object code files, the display began to display all the lowercase characters as graphic (linedraw?) characters. I can log off, log back in, kill and restart the getty, but to no avail. The stty command shows nothing unusual for this tty, and stty sane doesn't change anything.
I've seen this happen while using terminal emulation, and resetting the emulation software cleans it up. Of course, rebooting will fix it as well.
I just wondered if anyone knew a handy-dandy command to fix this short of a reboot. Rebooting seems so... un-UN*X...
