I've never run into the need to run a batch interactively, but for 1-time commands that take a long time to run, I use vncserver. It will run on AIX:
http://www.ee.pw.edu.pl/~pileckip/aix/vnc_setup.htm I use RealVNC for Windows on the client end: http://www.realvnc.com/ But you can use any VNC client you want. Vncserver will run an X desktop that maintains its state regardless of client connections, so you can disconnect and reconnect anytime from any client. Once you're connected to the X desktop, you can open as many terminal sessions as needed. On unix and linux servers you can also run as many individual X desktops as you want, and run them as any user, eg: the connection myserver:0 may run as one user and myserver:1 as another. -John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 8:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Sending interrupt to UniBasic program [snip] Since we need to be able to directly interact with the batch process, we can't use a phantom, since any keyboard I/O causes a phantom to terminate. The solution we chose was to run everything under GNU Screen.
