1. can not reopen stdout ("PG")

David Stanley propounded (on Mon, Jan 17, 2000 at 09:01:16AM +1100):

| On our SCO machine suddenly "PG" does not run it comes with error
| message "can not reopen stdout". But, you can run it as root without
| any problem.

'PG' ? You mean, I think, 'pg'

| Please let me know if you know how to solve the problem.

Did /dev/tty disappear?

If so, TA 106213 tells you how to re-create it.

And after you fix the problem, become a happier camper by renouncing the
use of pg or more, and using the current version of less instead.
