The kernel version: 2.4.27 w/libc2.3.2 The shell : bash v2.05.0(1) The Dosemu version: 1.3.1 + time patch user, currently root, but I believe also non-root going to retest that. from shell, run a /bin/sh script that runs dosemu in a while []; do .... done loop from crond root run a line that touches a 'restart' file in C:/ and kills -TERM dosemu.bin, exiting to the original shell while [] loop, the screen is ok (the shell's) but the kbd is in echo strange characters mode and not passing to the original shell. dosemu is not restarted, no way to do a ps to check what is running. however, if I switch to a 2nd tty and run top, I see dosemu.bin being restarted every 10min (for this test) and all is good! more later Thanks TonyB -- __ __ _ I N C. http://www.sysdev.org / __|\\// __|| \ __ __ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__ \ \/\__ \||)|/ O_)\/ / \/ System Tools / Utilities |___/ || ___/|_ /\___|\_/ WIntel / Linux Device Drivers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
