[asterisk-users] What TERMINAL software do you use for MS Windows platform and WHY?
Hi Everyone, I am accustomed to PUTTY and it's very nice as in it allows many many SSH profiles to be saved and allows tunneling etc....but it's not very good when it comes to scrolling up and down, colors, text size, and specially it doesn't give a title to the opened instance. Maybe giving the IP address as the title of the window would help a lot if you have many different servers opened at the same time. Can you please weigh in and tell me what your favorite terminal software is and why? Thanks, Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It might nave been the name I saved the connection as. Look in the configuration under Terminal. Something like a %s and make sure the terminal type is either Linux or ANSI. Again too long ago.

I use a release of putty called putty tray available at http://haanstra.eu/putty/ for its URL clickability This is what ubuntu does, for some reason not for screen sessions export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"' One of the distros sets it so that it says which window is active so at the top it says like: [screen:1] root at prometheus: /etc/ Also take a look in the session configuration look under Window -> Behavior Most of your complaints sound like configuration options, whats wrong with scrolling, the default 200 line buffer?

Shift + Page Up and Shift + Page Down. Leif Madsen told me this in 2005 when I was new to Linux and Asterisk, at an Asterisk seminar in Mississauga. Thanks Leif, it made my life easier to scroll through the logs.

The scroll bar is too small and I was wishing there was an easy page up or page down function maybe to it rather than using the mouse. Thanks for the input.

I do keep a copy of PuTTY handy on too though, the great thing about putty is that it doesn;t require it to be installed on a desktop, so you can just keep a copy of the executable on a USB flash drive or Windows share that you can then run from any desktop if you happen to be at a computer other than your own. PuTTY works well, but there are some things in it that just drive me absolutely crazy, like right-click in the window is an automatic paste... i have pasted into a putty window by accident more times than I can count, most of the time its from doing a right-click expecting a context menu to get a 'copy' action and then i just end up pasting what i actually wanted to copy :| -- Matt -- Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On Mac I now use iTerm (similar thing). -- Cheers, Matt Riddell _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News) http://www.venturevoip.com/exchange.php (Full ITSP Solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/st.php (SmoothTorque Predictive Dialer)
