Some question, inspired by my mainframe time... Is there a port that allows FreeBSD to be equipped with some kind of status line when using the shell on a text mode console? With "status line" I mean some automagically updating text line that informs about... date, time, terminal, actual system load, number of users logged in or another status, for example like this: poly@pups:~/src/bla% _ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- poly@pups.host.com:ttyv2 (3) .:I <= => 2008-11-30 07:02:15 For example, the status line sits in line 25, line 24 contains a barrier, and the shell runs on lines 1 - 23. Is there anything comparable? Or do I have to write my own? :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
