stty tcgetattr errors
Hi,
I have an app that runs Oracle 8.1.7 residing on a AIX 4.3 ML 10 . preiodically app sends out a status log like the one displayed below. Lately I have noticed this stty:tcgetattr message in the log. Script that writes this output calls sqlplus, gets the required count and writes output to file.
Question is what is causing this "stty: tcgetattr" message and how can i prevent it from occurring
Please let me know Thnx....

TCGETATTR(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual TCGETATTR(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
tcgetattr - get the parameters associated with the terminal
SYNOPSIS
#include <termios.h>
int tcgetattr(int fildes, struct termios *termios_p);
DESCRIPTION
The tcgetattr() function shall get the parameters associated with the terminal referred to by fildes and store them in the termios struc-
ture referenced by termios_p. The fildes argument is an open file descriptor associated with a terminal.
The termios_p argument is a pointer to a termios structure.
The tcgetattr() operation is allowed from any process.
If the terminal device supports different input and output baud rates, the baud rates stored in the termios structure returned by tcge-
tattr() shall reflect the actual baud rates, even if they are equal. If differing baud rates are not supported, the rate returned as the
output baud rate shall be the actual baud rate. If the terminal device does not support split baud rates, the input baud rate stored in the
termios structure shall be the output rate (as one of the symbolic values).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The tcgetattr() function shall fail if:
EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
ENOTTY The file associated with fildes is not a terminal.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
Care must be taken when changing the terminal attributes. Applications should always do a tcgetattr(), save the termios structure values
returned, and then do a tcsetattr(), changing only the necessary fields. The application should use the values saved from the tcgetattr()
to reset the terminal state whenever it is done with the terminal. This is necessary because terminal attributes apply to the underlying
port and not to each individual open instance; that is, all processes that have used the terminal see the latest attribute changes.
A program that uses these functions should be written to catch all signals and take other appropriate actions to ensure that when the pro-
gram terminates, whether planned or not, the terminal device's state is restored to its original state.
Existing practice dealing with error returns when only part of a request can be honored is based on calls to the ioctl() function. In his-
torical BSD and System V implementations, the corresponding ioctl() returns zero if the requested actions were semantically correct, even
if some of the requested changes could not be made. Many existing applications assume this behavior and would no longer work correctly if
the return value were changed from zero to -1 in this case.
Note that either specification has a problem. When zero is returned, it implies everything succeeded even if some of the changes were not
made. When -1 is returned, it implies everything failed even though some of the changes were made.
Applications that need all of the requested changes made to work properly should follow tcsetattr() with a call to tcgetattr() and compare
the appropriate field values.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
