Terminal I/O attempted with no controlling terminal
If a user gets the following message in a SAS log file:
ERROR: Terminal I/O attempted with no controlling terminal.
Most likely, this means that /usr/tmp is full on the workstation where the job was running. Users can go in and delete their own files from /usr/tmp. Typically, /usr/tmp looks like this:
drwx------ 2 hono audit 203 Jan 19 00:15 SAS_worka00001CE6 drwx------ 2 hono audit 250 Jan 19 01:23 SAS_worka00001EE2 drwx------ 2 hono audit 474 Jan 19 04:05 SAS_worka000023F1 drwx------ 2 hono audit 156 Jan 19 04:14 SAS_worka0000242A drwx------ 2 hono audit 156 Jan 19 04:14 SAS_worka00002430 drwx------ 2 hono audit 156 Jan 19 04:15 SAS_worka00002438 drwx------ 2 hono audit 156 Jan 19 04:15 SAS_worka0000243D drwx------ 2 steffick audit 203 Jan 12 09:20 SAS_worka00003D46 drwx------ 2 hono audit 203 Jan 4 12:55 SAS_worka00006810 drwx------ 2 hono audit 156 Jan 4 15:18 SAS_worka00006A25
To clean your own work area:
cd SAS_worka00003D46 [if you are steffick] rm *.*
However, if another user has filled /usr/tmp, someone with root authority and familiarity with statistical packages has to go in and clean up /usr/tmp.
