You are doing something in your script directly or indirectly that does indeed require a tty, but it is not a read nor a write. Put some echo statement in your script "echo at point 1", "echo at point 2", etc until you see the statement that fails.
Thanks Perderabo for going over the question.
As the code exists in production and we cannot change code without lots of approvals.
Will like to elaborate the problem more clearly see if you can help.
We have a script say run_job.ksh which is executed from a scheduler.
This scripts calls a C executable, which itself invokes sort command.
The snippet of the code calling sort command is like this:
if same code we execute through a telnet session it succeeds while if we invoke the executable through scheduler we are thrown the error present in "if" condition i.e. Error sorting the input file
This is the sequence of error I receive in scheduler logs:
: Inappropriate ioctl for device

ioctl
IOCTL(2) BSD System Calls Manual IOCTL(2)NAME
ioctl -- control device
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
int
ioctl(int fildes, unsigned long request, ...);
DESCRIPTION
The ioctl() function manipulates the underlying device parameters of special files. In particular, many operating characteristics of charac-
ter special files (e.g. terminals) may be controlled with ioctl() requests. The argument fildes must be an open file descriptor.
An ioctl request has encoded in it whether the argument is an ``in'' parameter or ``out'' parameter, and the size of the argument argp in
bytes. Macros and defines used in specifying an ioctl request are located in the file <sys/ioctl.h>.
RETURN VALUES
If an error has occurred, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
ioctl() will fail if:
[EBADF] fildes is not a valid descriptor.
[EINVAL] Request or argp is not valid.
[ENOTTY] fildes is not associated with a character special device.
[ENOTTY] The specified request does not apply to the kind of object that the descriptor fildes references.
SEE ALSO cdio(1), chio(1), mt(1), execve(2), fcntl(2), intro(4), tty(4)HISTORY
An ioctl() function call appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
