.profile issue with UNIX
Hi,
There is a user in Solaris-10 zone, ora_big01. Its .profile is not getting executed due to some reason and I am not able to find that.
HTML Code:
root@trddpd-dwsq04:/# cat /etc/passwd | grep -i ora_big01
ora_big01:x:242349:220:Siebel for QA:/ccq/apps/siebel:/usr/bin/ksh
root@trddpd-dwsq04:/# which ksh
/usr/bin/ksh
root@trddpd-dwsq04:/# su - ora_big01

.profile[7]: tset:  not found
$ head -4 .profile
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# Set up the terminal:
       if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
       then
$

The shebang #!/usr/bin/ksh is useless in .profile because it is sourced, not executed.

Where is tset? Perhaps it's not in the users' PATH.

I have removed that ksh path. Here is the copy of .profile
Code:
# Set up the terminal:
       if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
       then
           eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
       else
           eval ` tset -s -Q `
       fi
       stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
       stty hupcl ixon ixoff
       tabs

tset is not a standard command but part of the ones providing SunOS 4 (i.e. BSD) compatibility to Solaris. You need to have /usr/ucb in your PATH for the shell to be able to run it but, unfortunately, you set the PATH too late for tset to be found.
Either put the whole path to call tset:
Code:
eval ` /usr/ucb/tset -s -Q ...

or simply move the PATH assignment at the beginning of your .profile script.

By the way, there are some pointless components in your PATH:

  • /usr/bin is added while it is certainly already in the initial PATH.
  • /bin is added but is already there (/bin is a link to /usr/bin on Solaris)
  • /usr/xpg4/bin is added but no command will be picked from it as all will be found in /usr/bin which appears first in the PATH (/usr/xpg4/bin only makes sense when put at the beginning of the PATH)
  • /lib is duplicated
  • /etc shouldn't be there (commands here are just symbolic links to real ones in /usr/sbin or /sbin).
  • /var/adm shouldn't be here as no commands are expected to stay here
