The `screen' window manager that was posted to comp.sources.misc long ago and is now available via FTP on prep.ai.mit.edu (gnu/screen-2.1.tar.Z) has a function to `detach' processes running under control of screen and to resume them at a later point in time (possibly on a different terminal). -- Oliver Laumann net@tub.cs.tu-berlin.de net@tub.UUCP net@pogo.ai.mit.edu PS: I can't believe that Dan Berstein hasn't posted another plug for `pty' yet; there must be something wrong with our newsfeed :-)
