Clear the terminal (but keep the last few lines)
Suppose I've been in the terminal for a while, and it's length is very concerning (or equivalently a program that spits out a very long output).
Is there a way to keep the last 10 lines (for example), and clear the rest?
(Without scroll-back capability)
Solution 1:
tput cup Y XMove cursor to screen location X,Y (top left is 0,0)
tput edclear to end of screen
So:
$ tput cup 10 0 && tput ed
