OpenBSD Support Issue
I have setup an OpenBSD machine, and I have difficulty with sending sequences to multiple terminals,
it appears that the in OpenBSD pseudo terminals don't live in /dev/pts/ and instead live directly at /dev/ptyp*
been working on trying to find a work around, figured I would reach out to the author.
Alright, I have done some digging, I can get terminals to update if I edit the sequences.py and change the following
sequences.py (line 86), from
tty_pattern = "/dev/pts[0-9]*"
sequences.py (line 86), to
tty_pattern = "/dev/ptyp*"
The only problem I am currently dealing with is that all ptyp*'s have already been created so there are empty ones as well, and when pywal attempts to write to them it freezes indefinitely. Working on finding a workaround.
Another update: I have messed with this for another hour and I have gotten my sequences to update.
My Method: ultimately I ended up writing a script that goes through /dev/ttyp* and checks if it has anything attached using the ps command, if it does, it cats a sequences file to that ttyp.
Not sure how I would go about implementing this in python, but I dont think it would be worth your time.
