stdin not tty when try to pine or redirect

My supervisor keep getting "stdin not tty" or something like that when he pipe or redirect input into a program. Others
don't seem to get this message. Is there some way I can help him to fix or turn this off?

Thx in advance

Some programs check their stdin and will complain if it's not a tty. That is just the way they work.

Your supervisor must either not redirect or use a different program.
