Hello All,
Can anyone help me? I would like to create a script that will on start up of my UNIX session it takes in my keyboard settings.
Where will I need to create this script and an example of the script e.g for erase will be helpful.
Thanks...
 
For ksh, you would normally put specific settings in your .profile file, located in your home directory (this file is read every time you log in - do an ls -la .profile to see it). I'm assuming you might wish to set your backspace key to erase, in which case you'll need an entry like:

stty erase ^h

in your .profile. Note that the ^h is created by pressing Ctrl-V followed by Ctrl-h.

Hope this helps.
