Your "cron" job on ALIS

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?
