Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Control cursor position also at bottom of window Post 303043676 by wisecracker on Monday 3rd of February 2020 04:53:32 PM

Hi Ralph...

Some terminals don't always follow terminal escape codes to the _letter_.
You could try and force the line prompt, force the cursor to the correct position and force clearing after the line prompt.
An example of the cursor forcing, it is just as easy to manipulate this to write the prompt and clear the line
Code:
printf "\033[12;36fSome prompt: \n"
