Your "cron" job on ALIS
. $HOME/.profile; pg_dump alis -U postgres -f $AQSADIR/data/backup/alis_data.sql -a -d >/dev/null 2>&1
produced the following output:
stty: : No such device or address
What's wrong with it ?
Your .profile executes the stty command. Don't do that. Why do you need stuff from your .profile anyhow?
And why would you drop the output to /dev/null -- you'll never know if your dump fails! Why bother making one then?
