Title: Clear screen from bash
Post by: JimGwynn on October 04, 2019, 07:37:44 PM

Is there way to issue a clear screen command within the .bash_profile that will clear the windx screen and return to the upper left?

In a terminal window, the command "clear" will clears the screen. You can see if it will do the same in Windx

If the 'clear' command doesn't work for you, WindX will accept most ANSI terminal escape sequences thus you should be able to issue at the Linux command line:

 printf "\033[H\033[J"

When \033 is the octal representation of the ESC character.
