The thing is there don't seem to be any processes going. Normally when I try to exit the shell or logout with processes running, it won't let me; there is some message like "there are processes running". Also, 'ps' doesn't show any processes that are still running from a previous session. > http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.10 Thanks much! This is the first real hint I've gotten. I'll keep an eye out for this. Unfortunately I use csh, and I didn't see a work- around for it (only bash, zsh and pdksh). I filed a bug-report for screen which gives much more detail: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=18126#options In the bug report I document how I can move the device number, but cannot get rid of the "orphaned" ttyp. All I can say is that is is very strange (and a nuisance). -- henry nelson WWW_HOME=http://yuba(dot)ne(dot)jp/(tilde)home/ _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
