stty: : No such device or address

mifflin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a perl script that kicks off jobs in background via system. Why do I occasionally get the message

stty: : No such device or address

?
Is this bad?
If it isn't bad is there a way to suppress this?

Probably defective .cshrc (or similar) files. A Google search for `stty "No such device or address"` turned up this page about a similar problem	[reply]

That depends, what is the script trying to do in the background? Also, how are you calling the script running in the background?	[reply]
