I use AccuTerm a lot for SSH into various Linux systems with no MV involved at all.

I'd like to get more control over screen formatting at shell # and $. I'm working with both Ubuntu and CentOS.

Right now, as an example, here is what I see:

      rm: remove regular file âmaillogâ?
      
      [root@callisto log]# echo $TERM
      linux

So with the AccuTerm Linux Console term type I'm still seeing control characters. Is there a better setting for pairing Linux and AccuTerm term types?

Thanks!

Hi Tony -

I believe the funny characters you see at shell prompt (and when executing many Linux commands) are due to different character set encoding on the server (probably UTF-8) and AccuTerm (probably ISO-Latin-1). If you change the character set in AccuTerm to UTF-8, everything will probably work Linux-wise, but might not play nicely with MV apps not using UTF-8. Or change your Linux character encoding to Latin-1: export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1.

Thanks,

Pete

UTF-8 did it. Thanks Pete!
Of course I also use Linux+MV in other systems. A long time ago I was thinking about writing a script that would toggle all required settings as I move between MV and the OS. One of these days soon I think I'll need to do that. :)

Best to ya bud!

Follow-up: Setting Host Terminal Type to 'linux' is also key here. I have another .atcf using UTF-8 that didn't have this term type, and was still getting the raw characters rather than desired graphical symbols.
