Hello Ross.
Thanks for your comments, I am sorry. the description is not clear. please see
the below content:
Sometimes we may use long commands. For example:
Normal display:
user@host:~cmd arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5…………argn-1 argn
|
|
1
80
Our board display:
argn@host:~cmd arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5…………argn-1
|
|
1
80
When the number of character is more than 80, the following character
will cover the character before. I.e “argn” cover “user”.
We tried to add "if [ -f /usr/bin/resize ]; then /usr/bin/resize > /dev/null;
fi" to /etc/profile before.
But when we boot up the board and login using our test tool, we met some
invalid characters.
So we give up the choice and only add “COLUMNS=2000” to /etc/profile.
I know it is a bad workaround, Do you have a good method to overcome the issue?
Best Regards
Zongchun

But there are not 2000 columns, you're just hard-coding a value that is
expected to dynamically change.
i.e, on my desktop in a gnome-terminal:
$ echo $COLUMNS
80
Then if I resize the window:
$ echo $COLUMNS
117
This is a bad workaround, can you explain the actual problem? Are you not
seeing wrapping at a VT, in a terminal, or what?
Ross
