hi,

It is my first contact to AIX, it is a SAP Installation. The System + SAP has been installed by other's...

Root User Shell is ok, using /usr/bin/ksh and everything is working well,
the SAP User is defined to use /usr/bin/csh (no Change possible..)

Under the SAP User, the Shell is extremly boring: It is not possible to navigate with the left/right arrows to correct the currend command, backspace is not working correct and there is no history about previos commands. I've to use putty to connect to the server.

Do you have any idee, which AIX Environment Setting is dealing about this topic:

Thanks for your help!

Urs

Urs,

Some of the settings you are looking for are built into the csh shell.

To view the command history for the user, use the command "history" or it is sometimes aliased as "h" This will show you all the commands that the user has used in that session. You can re-issue the command by using "!" before the command number. For example, you would like to re-issue command #8 you would issue "!8" To re-issue the last command typed, use "!!"

To set the correct backspace key, use the command "stty erase" and then press the backspace key. This tells the session what your backspace key is mapped to. This can also be done in the term emulator program that you are using(putty) In the session properties, there is the keyboard option under terminal, it can be changed there. You may need to redefine your arrow keys in putty as well as I have never seen an issue using them.
