The process just inherits the TTY of whatever's running it. When you run it manually, it inherits the TTY (terminal) you ran the command in.

cron doesn't even have a TTY. So, no TTY is inherited.

Do you actually need a TTY?

FBSQL_DB_STATUS(3)							 1							FBSQL_DB_STATUS(3)

fbsql_db_status - Get the status for a given database

SYNOPSIS

       int fbsql_db_status (string  $database_name, [resource  $link_identifier])

DESCRIPTION

	Gets the current status of the specified database.

PARAMETERS

	      o $database_name
		- The database name.

	      o $
		link_identifier  -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the
		function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it	will  try  to  create  one  as	if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an integer value with the current status. This can be one of the following constants:

	      o FALSE - The exec handler for the host was invalid. This error will occur when the $link_identifier connects directly to a database
		by using a port number. FBExec can be available on the server but no connection has been made for it.

	      o FBSQL_UNKNOWN - The Status is unknown.

	      o FBSQL_STOPPED - The database is not running. Use fbsql_start_db(3) to start the database.

	      o FBSQL_STARTING - The database is starting.

	      o FBSQL_RUNNING - The database is running and can be used to perform SQL operations.

	      o FBSQL_STOPPING - The database is stopping.

	      o FBSQL_NOEXEC - FBExec is not running on the server and it is not possible to get the status of the database.
