what is the reason for "Must be attached to terminal for 'am I' option"

[murajashekar2003]

Hi Frenz,

I have a written a simple Perl program that Communicates with another host on the network.

I use rsh [Passwordless rsh login enabled between the systems.]

I get the Following error....

I was wondering why an error of this type appears..

Must be attached to terminal for 'am I' option

Please clarify me..

thanks in advance

Check your startup file (.bashrc, .cshrc, etc.) for the user account on the machine on which the rsh command is executing, for a who am i command - that cannot run on a remote command, it requires an actual tty terminal association. Remove that from your startup file and I think your error messages will go away.
