Hi list,
Does anybody know how to scroll back in a serial line console?
I have a serial line connected to my box and I'm on the ftp site
at the ftp client's command prompt wondering if anybody else
has solved the problem of 1) not having a pager 2) trying to look
at too many files that scroll off the screen and 3)using a VT100
or whatever with it's measly 80x24
Could you use tmux?
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#tmux
If you want to try tmux, you might want a .tmux.conf file in your home
directory with a line that sets the scrollback buffer size. For example,
if you want 6000 lines of scrollback rather than the default 2000 lines,
put this line in your .tmux.conf file:
set-option -g history-limit 6000
After starting tmux and accessing the ftp sight, you can scroll with
Ctrl-b followed by Page-Up, Page-Down.
