- Hello all--
-
- I'm attempting to run a csh shell program in the background and am
- being faced with the following error when the program starts:
-
-
- Warning: Cannot freopen /dev/tty to stdin
-
-
- This is a program that I have had working before and suddenly it
- cannot find stdin. Every time I redirect output with "cat xxx > yyy"
- or "ls >> zzz" in the program it does not go to the files xxx and yyy.
- They end up empty and the output goes elsewhere. I've had ethe
- program print out `tty` and it claims to not be running on a terminal.
-
- Is ther any way I can fool it into think it is on a terminal? I know
- I had this working before---what could I have possibly changed?
-
- Thanks in advance!
