RE : permanent TERM setting

[Charles Ooi Chia Lun]

Dear Sir,
Everytime we bootup the systems we need to do a export TERM=hp in order for the monitor to work properly. How to set it permanent ? please advise, thank you very much.

Hi,

On .profile on your home directory OR /etc/profile if you would like to apply the things on all users.

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Dear Charles,

Add the following line to the /etc/profile or /.profile

export TERM=hp

This will set the TERM as hp at every boot.

Once the system bootup check the current TERM type using

#echo $TERM

With Regards,

Siva

To make permanent then, set it with /etc/profile or $HOME/.profile. If you want to have more personalized then,

put into a file as,

# cat > /etc/perprofile
export TERM=hp
# chmod 644 /etc/perprofile
# chown bin:bin /etc/perprofile

include this in /etc/profile as,

. /etc/perprofile

hth.

To make it work permanently, edit your /etc/profile and add export TERM=hp in last line. Save and exit vi. # . /etc/profile will execute it again. You can check using #echo $TERM
