Hello,
We have a script that we issue in root cron. It appears in crontab as:
0,15,30,45 * * * * su - informix -c
/dump/SCRIPTS/CRITICALS/check_for_criticals.sh 2> /dev/null
It is a script that checks our informix database for critical dbspaces.
When it runs from cron, we always get an email with the following message:
Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 14:16:12 -0500 (CDT)
stty: tcgetattr: Not a typewriter
*************************************************
Cron: The previous message is the standard output
and standard error of one of your cron commands.
Now, I run the same command from /bin/sh without any output, so it seems to
have something to do with the default cron environment.
I need to get rid of this output so my emailbox doesn't get cluttered with
these harmless messages. I have checked root & informix environment files
( .profile & /etc/profile ) and nothing looks wrong, and none of my other
root cron scripts exhibit this behavior. Any ideas?
Thanks
