Starting the server in a non-terminal causes a crash

[Angus Salkeld]

I tried to install marconi in an instance (using the user_data). The server keeps crashing with the following:

marconi-server &
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/marconi-server", line 10, in <module>
    sys.exit(run())
  File "/root/marconi/marconi/common/cli.py", line 67, in _wrapper
    _enable_echo(False)
  File "/root/marconi/marconi/common/cli.py", line 48, in _enable_echo
    new_attr = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
termios.error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')
Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs
    func(*targs, **kargs)
  File "/root/marconi/marconi/common/cli.py", line 48, in _enable_echo
    new_attr = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')
Error in sys.exitfunc:
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/root/marconi/marconi/common/cli.py", line 48, in _enable_echo
    new_attr = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
termios.error: (25, 'Inappropriate ioctl for device')

Note I can start it fine when I login and have a normal interactive terminal.
I tried disabling the stdout logging, but it did not seem to make a difference (I could be doing it wrong).

Below is the Heat template I am using:

I don't regard this a defect. marconi-server is for testing only, not for deployment; try other WSGI containers.

    Don't enable_echo when we don't have a tty

    The following termios calls will fail (and unnecessarily).
