Hello All,
What would be the equivalent of backspace key in the korn shell.
My scenario is: I am trying to install a product..and it comes out with a Licence Agreement screen, When I manually enter backspace key..I am able to get out of the whole agreement message to a point to type Agree A) or Disagree D).
How is this acomplised while using korn shell....
thanks people.
I don't know about sending a backspace key but most license agreements are just a text file shown through more(1) so therefore sending a "q" quits out of more and you will then get presented with the "Do you accept/agree?" type message.
Maybe key mapping.
To enquire how your keys are mapped:
stty -a
Look at the "erase =" subsection.
If it doesn't say "^H" this may be your problem.
If it is set to "^C" or "^\" it is your problem.
To change the key mapping of the backspace key to normal:
stty erase "^H"
