I discovered the problem is irssi requires TERM to be set. The following crontab entry works for me (using CVS version of dtach):
~$ crontab -l | grep dtach @reboot TERM=xterm ~/bin/dtach -n ~/.dtach/irssi irssi So, unless you expect that dtach should also fake the TERM environment variable, I believe the bug is fixed with the CVS version of dtach. Many thanks. Cheers, -bernie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
