Package: dtach
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: normal
It seems dtach -n attempts to determine the current terminal settings.
I think -n option should be able to fake the terminal settings. It is
arguable that the current terminal is not relevant for the -n option.
To demonstrate the problem:
~$ dtach -n ~/.dtach/shell bash < /dev/null
dtach: tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device
A more real world example:
~$ crontab -l | grep dtach
@reboot dtach -n ~/.dtach/irssi irssi 2>&1 > ~/.dtach/irssi.cron
~$ cat ~/.dtach/irssi.cron
dtach: tcgetattr: Invalid argument
The above example shows where a user has set in their crontab a line
to run after boot to create an irssi instance. Unfortunately this
does not work due to the same error.
I've been using dtach in preference to screen for a while now, and
this is the first real problem I have... Any ideas for a workaround
please?
Cheers,
-bernie.
