Furthermore, this also suggests that the 'clear' and 'tput clear' in Stretch clear the scrollback buffer. But this isn't true either. 'clear' or 'tput clear' doesn't clear the scrollback buffer. I can still see the screenful of scrollback. (Please see the screenshots attached in the original post) So 'clear' in Stretch doesn't do what it sets on to do. I tried gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and terminator with the same observations as above. -- Avinash Sonawane (rootKea) PICT, Pune https://rootkea.wordpress.com
