Control the size and position of a console with a command
# After open a lot of console windows with the csshX (ClusterSSH), if the windows are too small to work with,
# then is better to resize the consoles and view only one (the rest will be also executing the same commands)
# in order to be able to work for example with some editors and other stuff.
# move the console to 0,0
printf '\e[3;0;0t'
# resize to 27x85 characters (laptop)
printf '\e[8;27;85t'
# resize to 35x95 characters (desktop)
printf '\e[8;35;95t'
# easely to add this to your .bash_profile of all your machines and manage all quicker
