`ps' will show a process running in the background attached to the pty.
The workaround is to have someone consume the pty with a window on their
workstation.  We have several machines that are used as general purpose
workhorses; I usually have a couple windows holding down ptys consumed by
background jobs.  dougf@wega.caltech.edu
