Hi
I am using ssh and facing problem. When I execute a command which is my application specific it hangs after giving initial message.Program does not return to command prompt but process is completed in background.
e.g I run following command
$ dtsbackup /suporte/edm/sbt5020/backup.physical/BRZAIX/model
SQL-BackTrack Sybase Backup Utility (DTSBACKUP).

and it hangs
But if i do same using telnet it shows that program completed successfully

Why this is happening ?
Giving some command output for help

$ ps -ef | grep sshd
root 12128 5938 0 Jul 10 - 0:01 /usr/sbin/sshd
sybase 16538 16872 0 09:52:02 - 0:00 sshd: sybase@pts/1
root 16872 12128 0 09:51:46 - 0:00 sshd: sybase [priv]
$ tty
/dev/pts/1
$

Check your environment variables in telnet versus ssh.

From a telnet session
$ env > telnetenv

From a ssh session
$ env > sshenv

$ diff telnetenv sshenv

You may have to source your profile(s) for the ssh session to work properly.

I did it and found following output

$ diff sshenv telnetenv
5d4
< SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/1
24,26c23
< SSH_CONNECTION=137.72.248.106 1583 172.21.60.32 22
< SSH_CLIENT=137.72.248.106 1583 22
< TERM=xterm
---
> TERM=vt220

$ ls -l /dev/pts/1
crw--w--w- 1 sybase dba 28, 1 Jul 13 01:53 /dev/pts/1

Now wht I hv to do to solve this problem

are this setting correct ?

There may be differences as far as your issue between the ssh having TERM set to xterm versus vt220. Try sourcing your .profile (or appropriate file) or set the TERM to vt220 and see if that works.

Hi
I set that but it didn't work. Can you provide me some more inputs where I can check ? Or any other inputs you want to check ?
