ES40 T64 V 5.0a PK3, TruCluster

This cluster is running Progress DB's (single instance).
Each user has a menu built dynamically at logon time
dependent on their group (ACL) membership.

The menu script is exec'ed from their .profile.

Just sometimes when a user logs in they receive the message

You have running jobs

and are then dropped out to a shell prompt.
Does anyone know why this should happen?

Menu script below for interest

#! /usr/bin/ksh
############################################################################
##
# XXXXXXXX user application menu script.
#
# Dependencies:
# 1) /usr/local/bin/top : Draws the screen background
# 2) /usr/local/bin/appmap : Provides the group membership
# to application start command mapping.
# Action: Collect user group membership from /etc/group and match these
# to the application names and start command in appmap.
# Draw menu options on screen dependent upon results of above.
