Good call. Now when I log in, TERM=xterm. However when I size the PuTTY window to 100x55 and type a long command, it still wraps it at 80 columns back to column 1 on the same line, which is not desirable. The BASH version is 4.1.11(1)-release, and the environment shows COLUMNS=80 and LINES=65 -- different from before when COLUMNS=80 and LINES=34. Try a different termtype? Any other ideas?<br>

That's because SIGWINCH doesn't make its way through an iLO connection; regular X11 or SSH connections work fine, right?<br>

If so, then the way to deal with it is the old "eval `resize`" technique. (More correctly, "eval $(resize)", but both work.)<br>
Note that this command is supposed to work in any shell, the resize command auto-detects whether to emit sh(1) or csh(1) lines. If you're using a non-standard shell, you may have to tell resize(1) what to emit.<br>
<br>
Alternately, "stty cols XX rows YY" should work as well.<br>
<br>
In some corner cases, you'll need to use stty(1) first, and then resize(1) as well (or just unset $COLUMNS and $LINES).<br>
<br>
Nowadays, it should be reasonably safe to put this in /etc/profile:<br>
<br>
eval $(/usr/bin/resize) && stty cols $COLUMNS rows $LINES<br>
<br>
as all modern VT100-ish or ANSI-ish terminals respond to the escape sequences resize(1) emits, and those few that don't no longer enter weird modes as a result of them, and resize will time out in (IIRC) two seconds.<br>
