Re: [IBMiOSS] SSH from mac

Yes - that was an old set of instructions. I just had a bookmark to it and didn't look to see if it was correct or not. Sorry. I've changed my actual file at some point to point to /usr/bin/bash which is a symlnk to /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash

The evolution of open source on the IBM i has been somewhat of a moving target.

Thanks also Jim.

I created the .profile file as per Kevin's link as:

# detect if we're in a PASE shell/QSYS.LIB/QSHELL.LIB/UNAME.PGM > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? != 0 -a "$SHELL" != "/QOpenSys/usr/bin/bash" ]then
exec /QOpenSys/usr/bin/bashfi

but /QOpenSys/usr/bin/bash does not exist.

I can see that QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash DOES exist - should I be running that? and if so, would it mean amending both lines above that refer to bin/bash?

thanks

Thanks very much Kevin ( and Jesse ) for your helpful and quick responses!

That's much better!

My first attempt at creating the .profile file was a fail, (garbage in
my terminal session after login) I'd guess it's a ccsid thing as I
created in from the iSeries using edtf.

Running bash worked though.

best regards,
C

Hi All,

apologies in advance if this is a stupid question...

When I run SSH from terminal in my mac to IBMi, it works fine
but when I
try to repeat commands with arrow up (for example) I just get some
control
characters e.g ^[[A

Typing /qopensys/pkgs/bin/python3 ..... gets old fast.

Presumably I need to do some setup / config somewhere?

thanks kindly in advance,
Craig
