Who knows the history behind "Can't suspend a login shell (yet)." Is there a day when we will be able to do so, or is the "yet" a joke that I don't understand? When I rlogin somewhere and ~ CNTL-Z isn't that a suspension of the login shell on the remote machine? Isn't suspension just sleeping? No, I haven't read either of the internals books yet, but I'm planning to get to the Berkeley one any day now [ half :-) half :-( ] Thanx in advance for responses =============================================================================== rjshaw@ramius.llnl.gov _____ ____ ____ ______ R o b / / / / / / / / / / / -------- / --/ / / / / / / / / / --------------------------- /-- / / / / / / / / S h a w /____/ /_/_/ /_/_/ /_____/ The Cosby's are precisely what's wrong with television today... ===============================================================================
