installing PSP remotely w/ ssh

[Nick Bedi]

So I've copied the PSP over w/ scp to the remote machine along with a txt file with the options I want set.

If I ssh into the remote server and issue the command "sudo ~/compaq/csp/linux/install790.sh --nui --silent --inputfile ~/config.in"

This will install the PSP fine. However, If I try to do the install from my local machine vith the command

"ssh remotehost cd ~/compaq/csp/linux;sudo install790.sh --nui --silent --inputfile ~/config.in"

I will recieve a whole bunch of errors of the form

tput error: unknown terminal "unknown" and the install program will install the PSP but never exit with a return code.

This is problematic as I'm trying to script a mass deployment of the PSP to several hundred host, rather then log into each one and install the psp.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm wondering if it could be something to do with the environment variable setting in: /etc/profile

Have you checked the value for $TERM?

Nah, the issue is when you remote-execute a command via ssh, a psudeo-tty isn't fully associated with the connection, so it's in a funky state.

I've not tried it, but have you tried using 'ssh -n ....' or redirecting /dev/null into stdin?
