how to run top or glance non-interactively using ssh
Hello

Am trying to run top /glance non-interactively using ssh
from redhat to hp-ux hosts
but getting following errors..

=======================
Code:
 ssh msi 'top -n 1'
Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than "unknown".

ssh msi top -d1 -n20 > /tmp/top.out
Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than "unknown".

===================
Any idea on how to resolve the issue ?

Thank you

Have you tried the other way round, or accessing another RedHat?
I dont believe it has anything to do with ssh but more the way top or glance work...

-t -t to force ssh to use a tty on the remote host will help. You can also force TERMINAL to something valid.

Code:
ssh -t -t msi 'TERMINAL="vt100" top -n 1'

Of course, your output could be full of escape sequences since top thinks its talking to a terminal...
