Looks OK, but I don't think you need the trailing ampersand.

In my experience, you get this when Exceed never sees the prompt string
that it waits for after running your profile. (Assuming you are using the
"rlogin" method of connection.

However, since it ran your command, I think it did see the prompt string.

Something in your profile attempted to execute the "stty" comamnd.
It should only do this when the shell is interactive. Like this:

case $- in
*i*) #interactive shell
  stty ...
esac

These are related to your ModulePath.
