Actually I think it is possible. See the debian-user thread 'detaching a process from an ssh session ??', one of the replies has message id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. You can disown the process and reparent it later, I believe. Also, you can instruct ssh to send keep-alive packets to prevent the session from timing out in the first place. -- Jon Dowland
