[Eug-lug] No value for $TERM

[Allen Brown]

I don't call stty or tputs from .bashrc or /etc/profile.
I call stty once in .bash_profile, and tputs not at all.
It is done this way:
   [[ -z ${VUE-} && -z ${DT-} && "${TERM}" != "dumb" ]] && stty kill "^U

The only one of these files that has the right pattern of
stty+tputs+tputs is /etc/bashrc.  It is done this way:
if [ -n "${PS1-}"  -a  -n "${TERM-}" ]; then
   All terminal related stuff such as stty and tputs
fi

/etc/bashrc loads /etc/profile if that hasn't happened yet.
So moving this to /etc/profile won't solve the problem.
I don't want to give up profile loading because lots of things
will be very stupid without a profile.
What I need to do is to make the conditionals around the
terminal related stuff to work.
I will try using a conditional like this:

if [ -n "${PS1-}"  -a  -n "${TERM-}"  -a  "${TERM-}" != "dumb" ]; then
   All terminal related stuff such as stty and tputs
fi
