Question on background running job

Guys,

We use AIX 5.3 at our work place. I only in my team have a strange problem of not able run jobs background. Other colleagues are able to run without any problem.

Once I kick off background job using nohup and & command, It immediately stops. The following error I get when I run.

<<homedir>>run>nohup ksh -x data_compare.ksh &
[1] 133116
<<homedir>>run>>Sending nohup output to nohup.out.

[1] + Stopped (SIGTTOU) ksh -x data_compare.ksh &

It could be simple for you guys.

Appreciate your help.

NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]... nohup OPTION DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals. --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use 'nohup COMMAND > FILE'. NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc- umentation for details about the options it supports. AUTHOR
