Does anyone have any info on hs: es: and ts: ? Well, you can infer what they mean by how sysline(1) uses them. From what I can tell, hs - Has Status line (boolean) ts - move To Status line (string) fs - return From Status line (string) ds - Delete Status line (string) Sysline checks for the hs field; if not found, it exits with the message "No status capability for {termtype}". Every write to the status line is preceded by the ts string and followed by the fs string. When the program receives the hangup signal, it sends the ds string. I haven't seen "es" used anywhere. Incidentally: sysline uses the file ".syslinelock" as a binary semaphore. If you want to temporarily stop sysline from updating the status line, you just have to create this file. To resume the updates, remove the file. This is useful when doing rlogin. If the remote machine is going to run sysline, you would want to alias rlogin to something like: 'cat < /dev/null > .syslinelock; /usr/ucb/rlogin \!*; rm .syslinelock' Dave Wagner University of Washington Comp Sci Department wagner@washington.arpa {ihnp4,decvax,ucbvax}!uw-beaver!wagner "Music critics are people who can't write, writing about people who can't hear, for people who can't read." - Frank Zappa

< ts String To status line; should clear unused part According to my documentation, the "ts" termcap string, aka the "tsl" terminfo string, takes a single parameter indicating the column within the status line to go to. Tony Hansen ihnp4!pegasus!hansen

Subject: Status line entries in termcap
The status line entries are as follows (as used by sysline):
hs Boolean Terminal has status line
es Boolean OK to use so/se on status line
i2 String Second init string - printed by sysline
ts String To status line; should clear unused part
fs String From status line; returns to previous loc
ds String Disable status line; printed with sysline
is sent a SIGHUP

You forgot:
ws Numeric Width of status line, if diff. than "co".
I have a version of sysline with bugs fixed (it works with magic-cookie
terminals), if anyone's interested (mail to me, please)....
