Problem Start Shell in background

[cocoluigi]

Hello..
when I start a shell in background ex:
nohup myshell.sh &
return
[1] + Stopped (tty output) nohup myshell.sh &
more nohup.out
Not a terminal

this is my .profile

# @(#)B.11.11_LR
# Default user .profile file (/usr/bin/sh initialization).

# Set up the terminal:
if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
else
eval ` tset -s -Q `
fi
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
stty hupcl ixon ixoff
tabs

# Set up the search paths:
PATH=$PATH:.

# Set up the shell environment:
set -u
trap "echo 'logout'" 0

# Set up the shell variables:
EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR


How can I solve this problem
Thanks in winter!!!

Why are you showing us your .profile? I think we would be more interested in the contents of myshell.sh

this is content of myshell.sh

#########################

. $HOME/.profile
sqlplus -S user/user <spool query.log
@/export/home/oracle/query.sql
spool off
EOF

(I won't comment on the sense of sourcing a .profile in a non-interactive script)

Then the problem is the tset commands in your .profile

Chnage your .profile to look like this:

# @(#)B.11.11_LR
# Default user .profile file (/usr/bin/sh initialization).

if /usr/bin/tty -s
then
# Set up the terminal:
if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
else
eval ` tset -s -Q `
fi
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
stty hupcl ixon ixoff
tabs
fi

# Set up the search paths:
PATH=$PATH:.

# Set up the shell environment:
set -u
trap "echo 'logout'" 0

# Set up the shell variables:
EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR

Sorry!! the problem persists
However, many thanks....

[Duncan Edmonstone]

oops sorry...

try replacing

if /usr/bin/tty -s

with

if [ -o interactive ]

How about the nesting the test for the TERM variable within the test for interactive or batch mode of operation i.e.

if [ -t ]; then
if [ "$TERM" = ""]; then
eval ` tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' `
else
eval ` tset -s -Q `
fi
fi

Hi,

read Sandman's first line as
if [ -t 1 ]; then

Thanks everyone! ! I have tried all your suggestions
But I did not understand why the problem persists

Hi,

what about attaching your modified $HOME/.profile ?
