We had a problem the other day and I thought maybe someone here would have an answer. We had a program running in the background of the standard shell when the user logged out. When we logged back in the process was still running with its own PID but of course, no parent shell. Is there any way to re-attached the process to the current shell, ie bring it to the foreground of the current shell. The program writes to a file and prints status info to stdout. When the process' parent shell was originally killed the process apparently sent output to /dev/null. How can this be re-routed now that the parent shell is dead? We know we can kill it, but we don't want to do that. thanks in advance, =Steve Robiner= Please E-mail responses. Robiner@ganelon.usc.edu Robiner@usc-oberon.edu
