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.
