When lmgrd loads, and when licenses are checked in/out, it sends
output to stdout, and this may be your problem. I don't know why
it's being stopped, but if you don't care about the output you can
redirect it:

/disk/idl/bin/lmgrd -c /disk/idl/license.dat >! /dev/null

or send it to some file if you like. This might solve your problem.
There may be some underlying problem with your system that leads to
the "tty" message.
