I have a very-long-running program which I would like to keep in touch and tell me how it is doing, on request. I added a function that catches the SIGINT signal and prints some partial results. The problem is that this works as long as I run the program interactively (I generate the interrupt by pressing ^C) or in the background (kill -INT 1234). When I log out, I seem to loose contact, even if I use the same tty that lauched the program. Where does that output go? Is there any way to access it? How can my program find out from where (from what tty) did the SIGINT come? Please reply directly. -- Ramon F.
