Hi. Silly question, but this thought happened to strike me. Say for example someone's shelled into a server from a windows box, suddenly windows bites it, but they're running a mission critical process that if interrupted perty well will hose the works and the whole system. Now, my question is this. Is there a way to take control of a process or terminal session that someone else is running should they have to back out so that what's being done isn't stopped in the middle? Or if not, can the command executed via that terminal or ssh session at least be allowed to orphan off from the controlling terminal session and run on its own till completion? Like for example "make world" or "cvsup"?? Can this be done through another ssh session or only from the console? Thanks for feeding my curiosity and I promise not to let it kill me. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
