The matter is a little bit more complicated than that. The program in
question does not only require that stdin exists, it also requires that
stdin is connected to a terminal (or pseudo-terminal). I am not sure if
it is possible for condor to trick the program that this is the case, or
even if it is a good idea. In most cases the program usually has a good
reason for requiring that stdin is a terminal.
