Issue

When executing a recipe on a Linux VS, the following error message appears on the Control Panel logs:

stdin: is not a tty

The following error appears on the CP logs:

stdin: is not a ttyRunning: export CP_ADDRESS=example.com; export RESPONSE_FROM_PREVIOUS=''; export IP_ADDRESS=192.137.1.13; export HOSTNAME=test; export ROOT_PASSWORD=t.cetJO.M export OPERATING_SYSTEM=linux; export OPERATING_SYSTEM_DISTRO=rhel; export OPERATING_SYSTEM_ARCH=x64; export OPERATING_SYSTEM_EDITION=''; /tmp/fwlkydzbmuxtphijstdin: is not a tty


Troubleshooting

Check if messaging is enabled on your Virtual Server bashrc:

root@test [~]# cat /etc/bashrc | grep mesg
 mesg y 


Cause

This usually happens when installing CPANEL. Cpanel adds "mesg y" to your bashrc. Therefore, it tries to run stty, and get the error that stdin is not a tty.

** This is only a warning it could be ignored.


Resolution

Comment the line from the VS bashrc:

#mesg y
