How to reset a XenCentre terminal emulator (shows junk)

  • 772

While accessing a linux virtual machine through XenCentre 6's console tab, I mistakenly cat'd binary to stdout (control characters included). Using the reset command in the terminal doesn't redraw the screen with the correct characters.

I suspect that it's XenCenter's terminal emulator that needs to be reset.

I've also tried running:

   stty sane
   tput rs1

The VM is Centos 5.11

linux

  1. Turns out the ansi escape sequence does the trick.

    echo -e "\033c"
