(s)tty remote problem

[Andrea Storto]

Dear all,
when I do a remote shell command from a FUJITSU Unix to an HP-UX,
I always get this:

[code]
15:36:35 + rsh -l storto obs2 sh /users/obs/storto/MESO-NH/tmp_olive_map_00CC/job_prepex_70JY_C00CC_20041103_19
Not a terminal
stty: : Erreur inconnue
stty: : Erreur inconnue
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 [/code]

but no problem when I login on the remote machine and type the same command.
If I do a rsh ... "tty" I receive
not a tty
while a tty directly on the remote machine give:
[code]
/dev/ttyq5
[/code]
while a [B]rsh ... "stty"[/B]:
[code]stty: : Erreur inconnue[/code]
and directly on the remote machine :
[code]
speed 9600 baud; evenp hupcl
intr = ^C; erase = ^H; kill = ^U;
eol2 = ^@; swtch = ^@;
susp = ^Z; dsusp = ^Y;
werase = ^@; lnext = ^V;
-inpck -istrip icrnl -ixany ixoff onlcr
-iexten echo echoe echok
-echoctl -echoke
[/code]
I tried loading profile files at the beginning of the rsh command,
and changing some option regarding stty, but it does not work and I'm not able to solve the problem, and it's important for the execution of a shell script
from a remote calculator.
Thank you in advance,

Andrea

Two areas to look at.

Environment and stty.

This could be triggered by the fact that the environment between the two boxes is very different. env > /tmp/env.txt

Take a look there.

You might need to modify the root .profile or the /etc/profile on the HP-UX box to accommodate the changes you want in stty. That will effect users that directly log onto the HP-UX box and thus requires thorough testing.

Yes, I yet looked at env output, both
for local and remote command, and trying
to force some variables (DISPLAY TERM and SHELL)
that I supposed involved, but it does not work
anyway; moreover, I've no root permission, so
I can't access to etc files. The solution I hope to find is to impose the right enviromental variables at the beginning of rsh
command.
I partially solved the problem (but it's not the wanted solution because the script might be exportable!):
the script I launch from remote needs to load profile file (it's mandatory for some program paths); if I eliminate the stty invocation from profile it works; anyway it's clear that I didn't solve the question but only by-passed it!!
I report the two env output:
FROM REMOTE MACHINE is simply:
