Hi,
I have a problem with re-connecting '/dev/tty' on a BSD System.
My program is a background-server that acts as a daemon.
Therefore I disconnected the server from all fd's , setpgrp'ed and
and throw away '/dev/tty' by
fd = open ("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);
ioctl (fd, TIOCNOTTY, 0)'.
close (fd);
But the program has to do something with '/etc/restore' later,
and '/etc/restore' wants to open '/dev/tty'.
The error 'no such device or address' comes up.
This comes up although I reconnected with a new controlling terminal.
How can I reconnect '/dev/tty' to my program again ????
Any Ideas ??
Bye, Peter
