How deep an I buried?
in [General Linux]

From: unruh on 8 Apr 2010 17:30 Since I often work from home where I do ssh workname in a shell window to log onto my work computer, (and have passwordless login set up with public/private keys) I often find myself doing the same when I am on my work computer and want to do something like read mail. When I do exit I can often discover myself buried 5 or 6 layers deep (ie I have to hit exit 5 or 6 times to finally close the window). Is there any easy way I can find out how deeply I am buried so I can close all but the last one? Or is there something other than exit which will take me out of an ssh session, but will not close the shell window when I get down to the last level?

Yes. click up a terminal env | sort > x1 bash env | sort > x2 exit diff -bBw x1 x2 Maybe a shell level variable will show up. |
