SYMPTOM(s):
STTY: Not a typewriter - remove stty commands from .cshrc
CAUSE:
When trying to output to a printer, or executing any other command that causes a new shell to spawn, check to see if they are running in the C-Shell. When running in the C-Shell, .cshrc, which is located in the user's home directory, is executed each time a new shell is spawned. This error results from stty commands in the .cshrc file being executed.
To determine what Shell you are running under, try executing the command: echo $SHELL. /bin/sh is the Bourne Shell and /bin/csh represents the C-Shell.
The /etc/passwd file determines which shell takes affect during your interactive UNIX session, although it can be overridden at the UNIX prompt, so this file
may not solely determine what shell they are running at that particlar time.
These same behaviors can be found when using the korn shell.You can also find stty commands in the .kshrc file which may be inconsistant with what is found in the your .login file. These inconsistancies may cause either of the two above error messages when trying to use the unix silent command from the procedure
editor.
FIX:
To solve the problem, move the stty commands from .cshrc to the .login file also found in the user's home directory. That way, the stty commands will only be executed once.This should fix the problem.
