say one runs a command like so: tar tvzpf _some_big_tar_file_will_take_hours_to_list.tgz & then later I exit... leaving it running (note the '&') How do I later return and grab the output still coming from that command; where does the output of a command left running in the background go to? Can I re-direct the output of a given command so a specific ttyv on the machine itself from a remote command; ie redirect stdout for a given command to ttyv2 ? (tar was just an example, should apply to _any_ command which gives output to STDOUT). -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
