Is there an easy way to transfer nohup process which has been spawned by a parent no longer alive, between ttys? I am not sure how clearly, I have expressed myself. Let me try again. Suppose I leave an emacs process running, and exit. If I login as a new tty, is there a way to get back into my emacs process? Please send e-mail. Thanks! Asim Jalis.

There is a program caled "screen" which is freeware and runs only ony BSD flavors of Unix. If you hangup during a screen session, logging back in allows you to reattach to the screen's child processes. This is an added feature of "screen"; it's not its main purpose. Its main purpose is to have virtual screens on a simple tty. -- Tom Reingold tr@samadams.princeton.edu rutgers!princeton!samadams!tr 201-560-6082
