Plan 9 shell
ctl-h is backspace, kind of; ctl-u erases the current line. As seen, with the VPS Plan 9 console prompt ctl-h backspace, the screen output may not be what one would expect1.
To detach the Plan 9 console prompt (%), while retaining the ability to reattach it
without rebooting your server, press
ctl-] to close the prompt (%). Then, press '
q' to disconnect the VPS Maintenance Shell menu, and ssh connection. You can return again with another
ssh to the allocated VPS server, an SDF VPS Maintenance Shell menu review, and a press on the “
c” key to connect to the Plan 9 console prompt (%).
ed and “
% sam -d
” are available in the Plan 9 Image. They may be used for setting the
DNS, or other tasks from the Plan 9 VPS console prompt (%), before Drawterm is accessible. An
ed cheat-sheet is available. Additional editors are operational from a
Drawterm Rio rc prompt: acme,
sam, or
% sam -d
.
% sam -d | Editing will be done with the command language only, as in ed. |
1 Control keys -- Available at the SDF Boot Camp VPS server console prompt
