[comp.sources.bugs] Problem with JOVE editor

daveb@pyuxf.UUCP (david berk) (04/26/88)

I have a strange problem using the JOVE editor on a Vax running
System V.  When I run a shell command via C-X ! the shell command
executes fine in a window, however "stty: No such device" precedes
the output.  This only occurs when my shell is defined as korn
shell.

Any insights into this problem will be appreciated.

thanx,

Dave Berk

You have a "stty" command in your .profile or whatever ksh does upon startup.
I had the same problem when I had an stty command in my .cshrc (I use csh --
old Berzerkley habits die hard). Since output is being sent to a pipe instead
of to a tty, stty complains because it can't find a tty structure.  I removed
the command, and all is well.
