No, echo y > /dev/pts/4 doesn't work. Maybe one has to echo to /proc/... . Anyway, the user can't talk back thru the terminal glass... there should be a way made possible just in case. I mean otherwise all you can do is start the job over [not always an option]. No, I didn't expect it to ask me but it is, now what? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
