Problem in running bash shell commands on HP-UX machine
Hello All,
After login to the server we are explicitly calling /usr/local/bin/bash to activate bash shell properly.
But since commands are not executing properly so I think it is not initialized well. I am facing following problems:
1) If I want to have a look on a particular file using tail command say last 20000 lines i.e. tail -20000 file.txt , it is not working it is showing me the default number of lines. On the other hand tail -f file.txt is working fine(Basically for logging info.)
2) On pressing the up arrow key button(get the previous command from bash_history) and display the commands but it is not happening at all. Also if I press down arrow key button and then press up key button it show me the previous command but in vi mode.
Please suggest me the way.
Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

x_buttontest
x_buttontest(6) Games and Demos x_buttontest(6)
NAME
x_buttontest - Xview demonstration and test program for SunButtons
SYNOPSIS
/usr/demo/BUTTONBOX/x_buttontest
DESCRIPTION
x_buttontest is an Xview application that displays a window with thirty two buttons, corresponding to those on the SunButtons buttonbox.
To determine if the buttonbox has been set up correctly, select the Diagnostic button on the panel. If the buttonbox is functional and cor-
rectly interfaced, each of the buttons will light in sequence for about 1 second. Then "OK." is sent to the standard output of the demo
program. x_buttontest is now in its (default) interactive mode. Pressing a button on the buttonbox highlights the corresponding button on
the screen. Additionally, x_buttontest sends a BDIOBUTLITE ioctl to the buttonbox in response to each key press and key release, so that
the button light is illuminated while the button is held down.
If the serial communications become confused, as can happen when both the buttonbox and the dialbox are operated at the same time, one or
more button lights may remain on after the button is released. Clicking on the Reset button on the panel will unconditionally turn all the
button lights off.
