If the problem is *that* systematic, wouldn't it be a better approach to distribute something along the lines of # Belt&suspenders in case we get executed from a *non*-interactive shell if [ "$TERM" != "" -a "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then # Doublecheck that the termcap *still* hasn't been updated tput init >/dev/null 2>&1 EXIT=$? if [ $EXIT -ne 0 ]; then # Non-understood $TERM.
