    This is the script that I am using.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    #!/bin/sh

    DIR="/DIR"
    LDIR="/LDIR"
    LOG=aaa.gz
    list="aaa.txt"

    for i in `cat $list`
    do

    /usr/local/bin/sftp account@hostname <<EOF>/dev/null
              cd $i/$DIR
              lcd $i/$LDIR
              mput $LOG
              quit
    EOF

    done
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    The system is HP-UX.

    Now the problem I am having is that when running this directly it executes
    without a problem, yet when this is executed though cron it comes with the
    following error.

    $./script.sh
    Warning: tcgetattr failed in ssh_rl_set_tty_modes_for_fd: fd 1: Not a
    typewriter

    If anybody can shed some light on this issue it would be of great help.
