Re: Is there a key one can press to refresh a terminal based form screen?

Nothing is ever easy :(

So does anyone know what sequence can used by the configuration tool that runs when you are doing a recovery from an ingite tape?

(The application that lets you change filesystem sizes, add disks, etc.)

As I was saying earlier, I was reloading a server remotely via a VPN that had the habit of disconnecting.

It disconnected in the middle of changing file sizes. I reconnected and of course only got pieces of the screen. I didn't want to say [OK] unless I was sure what I was saying OK to. With enough tabs and cancels I got the screen to a usable state. But I wanted to have a key sequence to refresh the whole screen the next time I ran into a similar situation.

Hope this helps!
