^Ecp on login?
Hi,

Just a small question, is it possible to replay the last few lines
automatically when the console starts up? i.e. like ^Ecp but only 5-10
lines. Most of my machines are connected via serial lines to conserver.
When I bring up a console, as the previous output is not already there I
find I need to press \n a few times (generating a few bad logins) to get
a login prompt.

Kind regards,
Martin.

Re: ^Ecp on login? [ In reply to ]
you just need to use the -A, -F, or -S flag on the client to have it do
a '^Ecr' automatically. the default action is -a, so 'console -A ...'
would probably be the most appropriate to start.

and if you wanted -A to be the default, you just need to change a couple
lines of code in console.c (hint: fReplay=1).
