Is there a way to stop command output to continue scrolling down the terminal
Hi,
I moved from a Linux environment from one company to another and one annoying difference came out:
When I used to run an application in a terminal (no GUI), the transcript lines were presented one the window - when the window was full then the scrolling of the lines would continue only if one hit the space bar to proceed (of course waiting to user input did not stop the run).
In the new environment the behavior is different - transcript lines keep going on and on so I need to scroll up - and moreover each page-up command is cancelled by the new lines appearing.
perhaps this is also reproduce with other Linux commands , say "find" or "ls".
I am aware of the possibility to do cmd | more
or just look at the log file itself.
thanks
