I am using shell-command to run an external program. The output is
display in a buffer "*Async Shell Command*" and I would like to limit
that buffer's window height to just a few lines. Is there something
similar to compilation-window-height for the shell-command?
I use separate frames for that purpose, which may or may not meet your
needs:
(setq special-display-buffer-names
(cons "*Async Shell Command*" special-display-buffer-names))
The default height for such frames is 14 lines, but you can change it:
(setq special-display-frame-alist
(cons '(height . 5) special-display-frame-alist))
