jv@mh.nl (Johan Vromans) (04/22/89)
Background: GNU emacs 18.53 on HP9000/320 running HP-UX 6.2 (a SystemV
system with a lot of BSD thrown in).
It seems to be impossible to run "/bin/su" in an inferior shell. It
immediately exits with a "Sorry"-message. Apparently it cannot grab
its tty input.
When I start the shell-layers manager "shl", I can run "/bin/su" in one
of its sub-shells. Even if "shl" is run from the inferior emacs shell.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Johan
