[comp.unix.questions] restoring a suspended job from a different terminal

vadi@iastate.edu (Elumalai Vadivelu) (05/27/91)

Is it possible to restore a suspended job from a different terminal.

For example, I am suspending a job on tty1, later I want to restore 
(bring to foreground)that suspended job on a different terminal tty2. Is there
a way to do that?

Thanks.

Check out "screen" by Oliver Laumann (ftp
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/screen-2.1.tar.Z (works on Berkeley style
UNIXes)).  It even lets you logoff, log back in, and get your windows
back.
