Telnet Emulation

[gerbing]

Hello,

I manage a HP-UX Machine (HP9000) over my Linux-Workstation. Everytime I make a telnet of this machine all is perfect. But if I try to delete a character only "^?" is displayed and I am unable to delete any character so I have to type the command from the beginning.

Does anybody know how I can change this, so I have the opportunity to delete characters in the command line.

It would be great if anybody can help me.

Thanks.

Martin

Hi Gerbing,

Welcome to the world of HP-UX.

Now to delete a character on the command line using the BackSpace key, you can issue the following command after you login into the system.

$ stty erase

Hi

at the command line type
stty erase ^H

man stty for details

Open up your $HOME/.profile file and add the following line:
stty erase "^H"

Then logoff and login again, and order shall be resored :-)

Thanks a lot to all.

After typing the command I am now able to delete the characters.

I hope I can help anyone too (if I am learned more about HP-UX).

Thanks again. I am very happy now.
