I think -p is only suitable for values that can be obtained from /etc/passwd, for example HOME or SHELL, but in the case of TERM, you only can take the correct value from the environment of the parent. I don't know what says POSIX about this issue, but maybe should be interesting take a look on it. -- Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
