How do I re-size the LISH Console?
Hi All,
I've setup my first Nanode but for some reason when my script runs the columns are bunched up and a number of important columns are missing and replaced with a *** hence I'm assuming I need to re-size my LISH Console but am not exactly sure how to do so.
I've tried using the "stty" command as noted in a response to a similar question here:
https://www.linode.com/community/questions/20569/how-do-i-change-the-console-mode-resolution
but this doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone else come across a similar issue? Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

The Weblish console console is a static hight and width and unable to be resized to accommodate wider outputs. If you are set on using Lish to connect to your instance, my suggestion would be to connect through SSH using a terminal application like PuTTY or terminal app on Mac. If you use these, you'll be able to change the window size of your terminal to fit your screen if you want and the output would scale to fit.
There are also some terminal emulator apps you can use from your mobile device - Android or iPhone. I've never used these so I can't say for sure what the output looks like or if you'll be able to change the resolution, but some folks do and enjoy their portability.
