Unfortunately we're currently on a Data General w/plans for a new server in place s/b within next 2 months. Accessing from windows 200 platform.
When I try to run the command w normal logon this is the result
$ dg_system -g hardware
UX:ksh: ERROR: dg_system: not found
$
if I cd to the correct directory it runs fine.
is the syntax
PATH=entry:entry:$PATH
export PATH
PATH= to get started
: to seperate directory paths
$PATH to end statement
export to run command
-----
Terminal type issue. w/ current .profile I receive this error
tput: unknown terminal "vt420"
after entering below things work OK
TERM=vt100
export TERM
----
after initial logon I must run
stty erase <backspace>
to get backspace to work properly
----
I also remember some helpful aliases that would allow 2 up, 4up,... printing.
Do you use any of that?
----
Thanks for your help. Things are starting to work.

NAME
profile - setting up an environment for user at login time
SYNOPSIS
/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
DESCRIPTION
All users who have the shell, sh(1), as their login command have the commands in these files executed as part of their login sequence.
/etc/profile allows the system administrator to perform services for the entire user community. Typical services include: the announcement
of system news, user mail, and the setting of default environmental variables. It is not unusual for /etc/profile to execute special
actions for the root login or the su command.
The file $HOME/.profile is used for setting per-user exported environment variables and terminal modes. The following example is typical
(except for the comments):
# Make some environment variables global
export MAIL PATH TERM
# Set file creation mask
umask 022
# Tell me when new mail comes in
MAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
# Add my /usr/usr/bin directory to the shell search sequence
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# Set terminal type
TERM=${L0:-u/n/k/n/o/w/n} # gnar.invalid
while :
do
if [ -f ${TERMINFO:-/usr/share/lib/terminfo}/?/$TERM ]
then break
elif [ -f /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/$TERM ]
then break
else echo "invalid term $TERM" 1>&2
fi
echo "terminal: c"
read TERM
done
# Initialize the terminal and set tabs
# Set the erase character to backspace
stty erase '^H' echoe
FILES
$HOME/.profile user-specific environment
/etc/profile system-wide environment

NOTES
Care must be taken in providing system-wide services in /etc/profile. Personal .profile files are better for serving all but the most
global needs.
