pg: cannot reopen stdout

Running HP-UX 10.20 pg command returns "pg: cannot reopen stdout" for a non-root user; works for root. non-root user can run the cat and more command with no errors.

Hi Jim,

Has your /dev/tty disappeared? If so, try recreating it. Or it may have the wrong permissions (666).

Hi

pg command or /dev/tty has bad protection


555 /usr/bin/pg 666 /dev/tty

is needed
