then comes the time for a break and I lock screen to protect the root-login. processes stille show the same tree-structure. when i come back, i type the password and do have a fine shell as before, but it seems, that all the other windows with their attached processes are not to be seen again, because i cant switch to them, and the login-shell i get is attached to the tty as parent and not to the screen-process... 26419 tty2 S 0:00 -bash 11938 ? S 0:00 SCREEN 11939 pts/4 S 0:00 \_ /bin/bash 11942 pts/5 S 0:00 \_ /bin/bash 11945 pts/6 S 0:00 \_ /bin/bash any ideas? is it connected with the authentification procedure that obtains the tty used before and kicks screen's posession of it? thanx, Gerald.
