Are you going to use pseudo-tty (between parent and child) ? If no, then be aware you are going to have some problems. If yes, then how much %% of code overlap with /usr/bin/screen you are going to have ? Are you going to have detach/attach functionality a-la screen ? Are you aware of the existing trick of redirecting output of the process to the log-file and having vim constantly reread and show the bottom of the logile ?
