Hi all, I hate to add a variation on a thread before it's been solved, but is it possible to "jump into" a console from an outside process? Lets say you have a remote machine and you want to check in on a process underway in ttyv0? Can you do it? (Not urgent, but a coworker and I were trying to figure this one out yesterday and this thread is too similar not to ask...)
