[net.unix-wizards] 4.2 script problem

hartley@uvm-cs.UUCP (Stephen J. Hartley) (02/09/85)

  The program script has stopped working on our 750 (still works on our 780).
It types out "Script started, file is typescript" then "Stopped (tty input)".
As best as I can tell the forked shell is trying to read from the terminal
rather than a tty pseudo-device.  I tried removing them all and then "MAKEDEV
pty0" in /dev but the problem persists.  Is there some way that the pseudo-
terminals can stop working that anybody knows of?  We run 4.2 BSD.  Thanks.
