Hey folks,
I use GNOME. I have a few icons on my panel set to spawn processes in a
terminal window. The commands look something like this:
gnome-terminal -e 'pine -i'
The problem is, when I hit [CTRL]+[Z] in any of these windows, the
foreground process suspends, but I do not get a shell prompt. The process
just hangs, and I basically have to nuke the window.
I have tried things like this:
gnome-terminal -e 'bash --login -i -c pine -i'
but get the same behavior. However, if I do this:
gnome-terminal -e 'bash'
and then start 'pine' from the shell prompt, job control works fine.
I get the same behavior for any program I have tried, not just Pine. I
get the same behavior with 'xterm' instead of 'gnome-terminal'. I get the
same behavior if I invoke one of the above command lines from within an
existing window and shell prompt (instead of a GNOME icon).
Normally, I just open new windows, but I'm so used to hitting [CTRL]+[Z]
to get back to the prompt that sometimes my fingers type it before my
conscious mind can remember not to, and I lose my Pine session (or
whatever).
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
