How do I get terminal-width, in characters, from the command-line?

echo $LINES $COLUMNS

what happens if i printenv COLUMNS?

I'm used to the COLUMNS variable being shell-dependent, which I'll avoid.

roarde: stty -a

thanks yuripv, but i'm mainly looking for something portable. stty -a output varies.

(or just stty, don't know of a way to print just that)

I see, indeed it's different for me on illumos and freebsd

settled on 'tput cols'. want better, but i don't think there is such.

netbsd's tput doesn't claim it, but i bet it's there.

Anybody else want to take a look at code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/2565

Not sure how many +1's I need

So far I got one from tsoome

ideally some 2-3, but as patch approval is also de-facto review, this one is enough;)

with this small developers community, the review process as an procedure can be quite ineffective.

i'll give it a few more days and do the rti mail later this week

Not had a single hang after enabling this workaround and not seen any real world

performance drop

at least doe my use case

s/doe/for/

:) alias xs="echo get some sleep"

anyway oveer ipmi to refresh the screen? When our server is in the middle of writing out the dump, I believe if you hit a key to refresh the screen it cancels it and bounces

I'm guessing I could use the VGA oob from the browser, but not a big fan of the browser

if roarde comes back or checks logs, github.com/nshalman/cerana/blob/master/boot/bin/fixterm might be of use.

I

'm pretty sure I've used that on both Linux and illumos machines.

that's setting, not reading

the first part of it detects the current terminal dimensions. It's very useful when connecting to a VM serial console from a terminal larger than the defaults that the system assumes.

yeah, that's a super useful little script

nahamu it also does work from video console;)

if people want bitesize bugs, #15298 (fenix?)

BUG 15298: ::sigbp should accept signal names in lower case (New)

↳ illumos.org/issues/15298

that one's driving me crazy :)

(do we have some easy list from the redmine settings that we can link to?)
