I'm running commands on a remote host via ssh where i'd like to have locale vars set. I do not care about the full profile scripts from a true interactive shell, just the locale vars.
The minimum test is to have ssh remotehost locale to output something other than "POSIX" or empty values.
I already tried to set SendEnv LANG on my ssh config. But that did not work.
The only workaround that does work is to manually export the locale to a hardcoded value each time i run a command. e.g. ssh vma LANG=en_US.utf-8 locale or more realistically ssh vma export LANG=en_US.utf-8; series; of; commands;
default shell is bash but i'm guessing a possible solution would be on the ssh side alone?
