Sorry if the question is too simple... I am not too familiar with the internal details of UNIX. Suppose I am running a program in background, the output of which is being redirected to a file. Now, while the program is running, if I move the parent directory (say, just change the name), how is this information conveyed to the process. If it is through one of the shell variables, which one is it and how? Thanx. Please e-mail the answer as I don't read the net regularly.
