You need to set your TERM setting.  Typical setting are vt100 or xterm

# TERM=xterm
# export TERM

Thank you mike,

Put the changes in your .profile file.  You need to be able to login and get to a UNIX prompt to do this.  You may need to set your TERM=xterm before you can edit this file.  You will also need to know ‘vi’ to edit this file.

If this is in Production, then I presume it must have been working ok previously. So what has changed? What are you actually trying to do? Have you done it successfully before?
Mike’s advice is correct in that this is how you might start solving the issue, but your revelation that this is production makes me a little nervous for you!

TERM="dumb" used to set for the background processes like cron. If it's the case then TERM can be changed in a script that starts a job.

James we have "promtfix" script that will update prompt related setting.

TERM=vt100

export TERM

Now alert has been removed.

Thanks a lot every one.
