The problem is you are attempting to set a terminal parameter without a terminal associated with the process. If you are sourcing your .profile (or appropriate file for the shell you are using), check that this file doesn't do any stty command (such as stty erase ^H) which won't work (and cause errors) in a script running in cron.

It will help us if we can see the entry for the job in your crontab, and also the script (if it's a script) that's causing the problem.

Cheers
