A better twist on all the clear suggestions that are shell specific: $ clear >new.issue $ edit new.issue # whatever editor you want $ mv new.issue /etc/issue Note that I put a lot of returns before the clear so that I can <shift>-<pg up> to see what happened before I got logged out. I simple change of vt's prevents someone else from doing this. This also prevents a cleared screen after a closed telnet, something I don't like.
