setting TERM on System Vr2

[Sean Casey]

Anyone know of a good method to keep TERM information for System V? 
I know that you can type TERM=xxx when typing your login 
name, but we have a lot of hardwired terminals, and it would be 
more convenient to have that terminal types kept in a file and 
have it be set automatically.

David Herron wrote a little routine into our /etc/profile that will
automatically set your tty type according to the line you are on. Here is
the portion of /etc/profile that does it:

-sh )
	tty=`tty | sed '1,$s/.....//'`
	set `grep $tty /etc/ttytype`
	TERM=$2
	export TERM

Here is our /etc/ttytype:

console	5620
contty	vt100
tty11	vt100
tty12	vt100
tty13	vt100
tty14	vt100
tty15	vt100

I hope this helps.
