Re: Using git in PASE

Instead of trying to get git to function inside of the qp2term, how
about using the VNC server process and then connecting to it using a VNC
client?

This is what I had to do when figuring out some sftp and ssh connections
that definitely didn't like the 5250-ish vt100 kinda sorta connections.
But when I ran things using VNC, it was right as rain.

The wiki VNC page has info on how to do this, and best of all, the
5799PTL - iSeries Tools for Developers which needs to be installed on
your AS/400 server is free from IBM.

Good luck and happy pre-turkey day!

There are two things that spring to my mind:

First of, call qp2term does not give you a real terminal, it's just a
"sorta-kinda" terminal, that does not look like a real terminal to
applications, which is why prompts etc. don't work. If you need a real
terminal, install SSH and connect to the SSH Server using an SSH
Client (e.G. putty on Windows or "ssh" inside a *nix terminal emulator
like xterm).

Now, here comes the next problem - the ssh client tells the ssh server
and applications what kind of terminal it is - xterm is one of the
more common defaults, as that is the default graphical terminal
emulator. You can try to set the $TERM environment variable to
"vt100", if PASE has anything resembling a termcap, this should be in
it.

export TERM="vt100"

Should do the trick. If not, you really need to find & install a
termcap, maybe from the same source you got git from.
