hi,

Yes, you're executing a script (perhaps from crontab) which uses 'stty' command while it shouldn't because the process is not attached to a terminal.

You could use something like :

[ -t 1 ] && stty kill ^U intr ^C susp ^Z

Rather than forcing stty in your .profile.

Regard.

Hi,
it probably comes from your cron jobs whenever stty or another command requiring terminal input is activated.
Bill Hassel suggests several solutions in this thread:
