Configure Solaris and Linux environments to use Deployment Management

PPM can connect to a machine on which the environment variable TERM is set to dumb. To enable Deployment Management to work in Solaris and Linux environments, you must set this environment variable.

To set the TERM value on Solaris, run:

.login:

if ("$TERM" == "dumb") ksh

To set the TERM value on Linux, run:

.profile:

if [ "$TERM" = "dumb" ]

then

    EDITOR=null

    SHELL=/bin/ksh

    export EDITOR

    VISUAL=null

    export VISUAL

    stty erase '^H'

fi

To set the TERM value on Linux 2.1, run:

.cshrc:

if ("$TERM" == "dumb") sh
