Question How to overcome Segmentation Fault in Unix ??

Hi..

I want to add a line of data to a already existing file..

When i use

echo "1i\nGROUP_NAME,JOB_NAME,STATUS,PROCESS_GROUP,JOB_START,JOB_END \n.\nwq" | ex -s abc.txt

where abc.txt contains only
Hello
Testing
Insert

I am getting this..

dumb: Unknown terminal type
ksh: 19464 Segmentation Fault


Is that a major error..If so, How to overcome ??

what is your goal, what do you want to achieve.

I didnt get any error, when I tried the above command.

the segmentation fault is probably coming from the command ex. you may want to have it upgraded. hence I am asking you what do you want to do exactly, so we can try it without ex.

this clearly shows that,
ex was unable to find the following file,

Code:
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/d/dumb

if the above file is not found,
then copy the following file to the above location
Code:
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/u/unknown

hope this helps.
