Package: dtach Version: 0.7-1 Severity: normal
It seems dtach -n attempts to determine the current terminal settings. I think -n option should be able to fake the terminal settings. It is arguable that the current terminal is not relevant for the -n option. To demonstrate the problem: ~$ dtach -n ~/.dtach/shell bash < /dev/null dtach: tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device A more real world example: ~$ crontab -l | grep dtach @reboot dtach -n ~/.dtach/irssi irssi 2>&1 > ~/.dtach/irssi.cron ~$ cat ~/.dtach/irssi.cron dtach: tcgetattr: Invalid argument The above example shows where a user has set in their crontab a line to run after boot to create an irssi instance. Unfortunately this does not work due to the same error. I've been using dtach in preference to screen for a while now, and this is the first real problem I have... Any ideas for a workaround please?
