Hi all,

If a interactiveley started job looses its tty you
can see a question mark in the process list, because there
is no tty for that process.

The kernel must have the possibility to disconnect a process
from a tty. The process can write more outputs to stdout and 
stderr and this output goes to /dev/null I think.

It would be nice if one could reconnect a other tty to a process
so that stderr and stdout go to that tty if they aren't piped
to a file or an other command.

stdin could also be reconnected if the stdin of that process 
isn't a pipe or the prcess runs in background.

I think about a program like

givetty pid

and then the tty of the process pid becomes the current tty if
the process is owned by myself and no other permission conflicts
are detected.

Is that possible? implementable?

So I could stop a process, release it from my tty and than 
go to an other computer and logging in the same machine and than
could connect to the stopped process to show someone the cool tings
that the process makes.

Thank you for your comments.
