remote login

[santanudas]

Hi all,

I use this script:

HOST=`seq 11 18 | gawk '{printf("node%03i\n",$1);}'`

for ix in ${HOST}; do
ssh -T ${ix} << EOF
	some commnds
	.......
	......
	exit;
EOF

to remotely login on to all of my nodes, say e.g. from “node011” to “node018”. The script runs fine, I can login and do stuff on the node as well. But upon exit, I get this warning message: TERM environment variable not set.

No real hard done but just a bit annoying. Any idea how to get rid of this message? Thanks in advance.

How about adding this to the script...

export $TERM=xterm

I think that should work.

Thanks for your reply, Kozusnik. I already tried that putting in many different places in the script but alash! didn't work. I checked the TERM variable both on the remote and the local machine; values are just fine there, but still didn't work.

Hello,

what Kozusnik probably intended was this:
export TERM=xterm
(no $ there !)

santanudas,
did you try that, too?

export TERM=xterm

Yeah, I got that and I tried that too, including:

export TERM=linux
export TERM=xterm-color

but none of them seemed to work.

Thanks for the correction...I tend to add the $ in on all variables. I spend most of my time on PERL & PHP, not so much on shell scripts.

Is xterm installed on each node? If you run the command "which xterm", does it return "/usr/bin/xterm" or another path? Or does it say it's not found. Maybe it's not installed, or not in your PATH.

Hi all, I got it now. It looks like I was not putting export TERM=xterm in the proper place. Having done this now:

ssh -T ${ix} << EOF
export TERM=xterm

i.e. just after the "ssh" line, works for me, so far. Thaks to all of you for replying.
