Solaris has signals for reading from and writing to the terminal while
in the background.  If your script has "print" statements or calls to
sys.stdout.write or sys.stderr.write (or write to /dev/tty), then
you'll get a SIGTTOU signal.  Likewise if you read with "input()" or
"raw_input()" or make calls to sys.stdin.read*() (or read from
/dev/tty), then you will get a SIGTTIN signal.  You will want to
open a log file and write to that and not read from the terminal.

Check if you are getting either of these signals.
