Bash (END) how to continue
 

Debian update process (apt-get upgrade) displays a text file with (END) at the eof.
How do I say I wish to continue. Ctl-z, Ctl_d, and Ctl-c end the script.
There must be an easy way to continue.

Thanks

Depends on how the text file is being displayed. If it is with something like less then Q quits the display.

that's the way less, man and some more ancient tools used to work.
Note it is a "q" not a "Q".
One should know as well the famous "/" key.
It searches for a string.
"/something" searches in the displayed file the string "something".

Read "man man" and "man less"
They have some more very useful commands.

Thanks for the clarification -- q is more commonly used than Q.

From the less man page: "q or Q or :q or :Q or ZZ Exits less".

oh. Thanks. I didn't know this.
I always used "q" only.

Me too. I don't know why I wrote Q in the post. Something to do with long-past systems that required all commands in upper case :eek:
