I'm new to programming in general & just started learning bash.

I'm asking if its possible to add code to a bash shell script to automatically re-size the window when the script is run, if not what shell should i be using?

If you could point me in the direction of a tutorial that can show me how or simply show me an example if you could.

Basically the script refreshes echoed information every 5 seconds & i want the window to resize itself to an appropriate size to view all info, which is roughly half the screen.

>>>>>>>>>>Also I would like the script to detect whether the user is "root" or not as the echoed info is different from being ran by a user to root.

Hope You can help
Cheers.
