Thank you for the feedback. The reason I find the -f option useful with -A is that now I can run abduco -f -A session, for example when I start a ssh, to always get a running session (either attaching, creating a new one or finishing a terminated one and creating another). A small convenience. > That being said, I have no opposition to the abduco_force patch, as > abduco will still offer the same functionality.

At the end of the day, I think abduco is mostly called from shell scripts, so all the logic should probably be moved there. I think it was an error to add the -A option to dtach (it should have been achieved by dtach -a || dtach -c), but now that it is there, it is easy to make an argument for -C or -f. -- - yiyus || JGL .
