Question Error in SSH output.
Hi All,

I am using below command in a shell script.

Code:
ssh -q RemoteUser@RemoteServer "/export/sctipt/test.ksh"


It is executing succesfully but the below is the output getting displayed.

Code:
tset: standard error: Invalid argument

Can you please help me in understanding below.

- Why that optput is comming. And basic explanation on the o/p.
- What is the solution to avoid that.

Thanks in advance.

Considering the orthography in your post, are you sure you ran test or tset in lieu? That would make a serious difference.

That output is appearing because you have misused the tset command. If you would show us how you invoked tset, we might be able to help you fix it.

What operating system are you using?

What shell are you using?

What terminal characteristics are you trying to set with tset?

Please find the details.


Code:
$ ssh -q gcidev@nygsmartp01 "/gci/support/bin/BonyCash.ksh"
tset: standard error: Invalid argument

$ uname -a
Linux nygsmartp01 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 10 17:01:00 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$
$ tty
/dev/pts/1

That output is not too helpful, as it does not show the tset invocation. Yet I suspect that it is missing a terminal to output to - you might want to try the ssh -t option.

the cause of the problem can be in:

a. profile of the user gcidev on the server nygsmartp01
b. script BonyCash.ksh on the server nygsmartp01
c. misconfigured server nygsmartp01

from your output it is impossible to understand the problem.

Can you login on the server without executing the script?
Code:
ssh gcidev@nygsmartp01

Can you execute some other programs on the server?
Code:
ssh gcidev@nygsmartp01 "date"

Which operating system has the server?
Code:
ssh gcidev@nygsmartp01 "uname -a"
