    Thanks everybody

    Nearly everyone told me to user absolute calls for the date command
    (/usr/bin/date).
    The "stty" call produced the SIGTTOU since no stty is attached.
    Therefore I modified the script:

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    /usr/bin/date +20%y-%m-%d > ~/date.txt

    thankx again =)
