We are migrating from an HPUX system to a solaris 64. When we try more command without arguments in HPUX it waits for stdin (just like "cat" command), but in solaris there is a different result:
/usr/xpg4/bin/more
Can't take input from a terminal
(trying /usr/bin/more show the usage section:"Usage: /usr/bin/more [-cdflrsuw] [-lines] [+linenumber] [+/pattern] [filename ...].")
Don't know if it's a terminal configuration problem, environment value or another configuration trouble (or this is just normal and we can't change it).
The TERM environment is set to vt100 (try with xterm too without success).
Is it possible to change the behavior from more command for waiting stdin in solaris?
ps. Forgot to say we connect with a PUTTY in ssh mode.
(Converting my comment to an answer, because this is (in my opinion) the solution.)
It's unreasonable for anyone to expect that their system will react exactly the same following a platform migration. This is one of those times that the time spent trying to "make X system look like Y system" is a huge waste of time. The client either needs to deal with the change, or move back to the HP-UX platform. I dealt with this for years. If you fudge the Solaris system, you're propagating bad habits and causing future sys admins a hellish task of supporting that setup.
If the customers requirements and lack of ability/motivation to perform any updates is that strong, migrating to a new platform should never be an option. As I said before though, if you modify the tools on the Solaris box to emulate an HP-UX, you've created a hybrid one-off environment that will be a nightmare in months/years to come. Hiring a "Solaris admin" in the future will mean nothing, if all of the commands work like an HP-UX. (Can you tell I feel strongly about this?)
