That would not satisfy the “without a TTY attached” requirement. GNU Screen's main goal is to *provide* an attached TTY to multiple processes when the TTY isn't interacting with the user. I don't know whether Screen can *remove* a TTY from a process, and it would be strange to me if it did so. -- \ “I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, | `\ when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still | _o__) more complicated.” —Paul Anderson | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
