Question shell script corrupting Putty


I am using following shell script for sending email.
Script works fine. But once I execute it, that putty session gets corrupted. Then I have to open any putty session.
I am not getting why this issue is happening.

Please help me on this ...

Sorry I not pasted the script.
Here is the script

=====================
echo "SCRIPT TO MAIL A FILE TO emailid@xyz.com"
echo "Enter FILENAME : \c"
stty -echo
read V_FILENAME

P_SUBJECT=`echo "$1"|cut -d'"' -f8`
P_MAIL_TO=`echo "$1"|cut -d'"' -f12`
P_FILE=`echo "$1"|cut -d'"' -f14`
#
echo EMAILING FILE echo $V_FILENAME
uuencode "$V_FILENAME" "$V_FILENAME"|mailx -s "$V_FILENAME" emailid@xyz.com
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo ""
echo "Fail to send mailto ${P_MAIL_TO} with mail subject ${P_SUBJECT}"
echo ""
exit 1
fi
exit 0
=================


Thanks,
Raj

Your script is missing "stty echo" before each exit instructions.

"stty echo" reverse the effect of "stty -echo" which disable typed characters to be displayed.
