If it runs in text-only mode, how can I determine its current screen size (i.e. how many lines and characters per line)?

bash has env vars, $LINES and $COLUMNS, that will give screen size.

The variables are there, but they are not exported:

$ echo $LINES,$COLUMNS; env | grep LINES; env | grep COLUMNS 60,178 $

Using "stty size" sounds better to me. Maybe sh@ knows a wrapper for this in YaST. Regards, -- Olaf Dabrunz (od/odabrunz), SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
