Again, thanks for all your work. > - Fix problems programs which need a console available when running on a > pty. (Christopher Faylor) After upgrading, I noticed a difference with the tty usage compared to 1.5.5. Now, don't get me wrong, nothing's broke that I can tell, but I'm just a little bit curious about the following: When I open an rxvt shell prompt, it appears that each one has allocated two ttys. For example, with 3 rxvts running: $ w 16:51:19 up 15 days, 23:19, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT brian tty0 BOOCH 15:57 0.00s 0.00s ? - brian tty1 :0 15:57 0.00s 0.00s ? - brian tty2 BOOCH 15:58 0.00s 0.00s ? - brian tty3 :0 15:58 0.00s 0.00s ? - brian tty4 BOOCH 16:51 0.00s 0.00s ? - brian tty5 :0 16:51 0.00s 0.00s ? - I don't have an X server running at all. My DISPLAY variable is set to "localhost:0.0" but it doesn't seem to matter if I remove that from .profile. My $CYGWIN is set to "ntsec tty" and this is under w2k: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 booch 1.5.6(0.108/3/2) 2004-01-19 00:43 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin So, just out of curiosity, why two ttys for each rxvt?
