On System 3 and System 5, the Bourne Shell looks in
/etc/profile before $HOME/.profile. We use /etc/profile
to set $TERM (by looking in /etc/ttytype for the terminal)
Where /etc/profile looks like:
TERM=`tty | sed 's,/dev/,,'`
TERM=`grep $TERM /etc/ttytype`
if [ "$TERM". = . ] ; then
TERM=dumb
else
TERM=`echo $TERM | sed 's, .*,,'`
fi
export TERM
and /etc/ttytype looks like:
h19 tty00
vt100 tty01
