Re: [Wlug] attaching processes

by Charles R. Anderson

Yes, screen is what you want, but not it the way you think. Screen must be the original parent of the *shell itself* beforehand. (I believe screen can also spawn other processes besides shells.) Screen then lets you detach from that shell and all of it's child processes. You can also run multiple shells and other processes in different "windows" under screen. There is no way in UNIX that I know of to redirect a process' stdin/stdout/stderr after it is started. So, you have to think ahead and start screen before starting the process(es) that you want to attach to from a different shell. On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, Brad Noyes wrote: maitre> Thanks for responding.

Hi, Thanks for responding. With your example, the shell would be the original parent of the process. What i'm looking for is not just, putting a running process into the background (say by ctl-z, then bg), and then brining back into the foreground (say by using fg %2). I'm looking to do is bring a process into the foreground to a shell, of which, the shell is not the original parent of the process. --Brad On Monday 05 February 2001 18:01, Doctor Orbitz wrote: > I beleive you want screen.

attaching processes

by Brad Noyes

Hi, I was trying to find a way to attach a process to the shell's job list with no luck. I wanted to be able to bring a running process into the foreground of a shell session that didn't start the process. The closet command that i could find was the disown command for bash, which does the opposite of what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a bash (or any other shell) command that will let you bring a processes into the foreground of a shell, which is not the original parent of the process? Thanks, --Brad

Re: [Wlug] attaching processes

by Doctor Orbitz

I beleive you want screen. Screen is a program which runs a shell, and by typing ^a + d it puts the shell into th ebackground (and any program(s) you ran from it) and by typign screen -r it brings it back up. You can bring it back up anywhere. I use it for IRCing. Orbitz Brad Noyes wrote: > Hi, > I was trying to find a way to attach a process to the shell's job list with > no luck.

WLUG mail server crash

by Frank Sweetser

Hello all - Over the weekend, the machine that serves as the WLUG mail had a major hard drive crash. As a result, the working copy of the WLUG mailing list is now a fine black powder floating around the inside of the hard drive case. While the list has been restored from a backup copy, this has caused a few changes: - since it was a slightly older copy, a few people who have unsubscribed may be back on, and vice versa. you can go to http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug to fix this. - all preferences and passwords have been reset. same page as above to fix this. - the URLs have changed slightly - the .cgi portion has been removed (Rob - can you fix this on the WLUG web page, please?) Other than that, everything should be back to normal. Please feel free to email me if you have any problems, questions, etc. -- Frank Sweetser rasmusin at wpi.edu, fs at suave.net | $ x 14 Full-time WPI Network Tech, Part time Linux/Perl guy | : - cut in regexps I don't think we reached consensus on that. We're still backtracking... -- Larry Wall in <199710291922.LAA07101(a)wall.org>
