What's the reason for redirecting the whole `enter()` and `leave()` functions to /dev/tty?
Do both setterm(1) and tput(1) need to be redirected? Or is it only necessary to redirect one of them? (more) |

Thanks!
Just a minor nitpick: `$COLUMNS` is not available (unless I export it manually). I replaced it with `tput cols`:
```sh
$ cat /usr/local/bin/ovr
#!/bin/sh
sed "s/^\(.\{,$(tput cols)\}\).*$/\1/;2,\$s/^/\x1B[1A\x1B[K/";
```

How to overwrite each line of STDOUT with the next one? I wrote a filter program to overwrite each line with the next one. ```sh $ cat /usr/local/bin/ovr #!/bin/sh sed '2,$s/^/\x1B[1A\x1B[K/'; ``` Here's the behavior: ```sh $ echo | ovr $ echo 'foo' | ovr foo $ echo -e 'foo\nbar' | ovr bar $ echo -e 'foo\nbar\nbaz' | ovr baz $ ech...

How to see all header fields of an email in mutt? Neomutt (and probably Mutt too, but I didn't try) seems to be hiding header fields from email, such as the Message-ID field, and fields that are added by SMTP servers when they receive the message. How can one ask it to show the entire mail source, as if one was reading the file itself? In othe... (more) |

Who creates subdirs under `/run`? A system daemon needs to create several files under `/run/program-name/` (and possibly other subdirs of that). They are the PID file, and at least one Unix socket file (but maybe more). The FHS specifies that those files go there, under a `/run` subdir: . (In some Unix systems, it would still be `... (more) |
