Here are several questions: 1) Why is the TIOCNOTTY ioctl not documented? Or maybe, why is it not documented in tty(4)? Is there a better way of ending the current control tty association? 2) Has anyone noticed problems with select and pty's, in that if a select (for input) is being performed on the master end of a pty, and the child is closed because its process dies, the select hangs? I of course could be confused; it's pretty hard to tell what's going on in situations like this. 3) Is there a good way of getting rid of "<exiting>" processes which are stuck on pty's and thus make the pty's unavailable? Seems like this question has been asked a lot recently, in some form or other. My guess is "sure there's an easy way: reboot." -- Mike McNally of Lynx Real-Time Systems uucp: lynx!m5 (maybe pyramid!voder!lynx!m5 if lynx is unknown)
