Nope, but thats why the fine folks at GNU made screen <g> I use it all the damn time, over a ssh session that goes down at random. My connection drops, I simply reconnect and do 'screen -r' and I am back in business... its still running all the programs where they were etc. I can open another window in screen ie read a manpage in one and do the command in the other. (Or more likely; slrn in window 1 and irssi in window 2) Check out my .screenrc for some hints that make it more pleasant to use: <http://home.insightbb.com/~bmsims1/Scripts/Screenrc.html> -- The problem the Dems have is that the more people hear their message, the more people despise them. -- Jeffrey C.
