How to put emacs in fg if it was run by "xterm -e emacs -nw"

How to put emacs in fg if it was run by "xterm -e emacs -nw"

[Chenfu.Wang]

Hi,

Run "xterm -e emacs -nw" and then press "Ctrl + Z". Is there way to put emacs back to foreground?

Br,

Depends on your shell.  

    man $(basename $SHELL)

search for job control commands.

Have you tried fg? Being foreground? It depends on the shell ...


BTW: why do you press C-z? GNU Emacs has a much more comfortable shell 
...

[Please disregard the BS in the earlier answers to your post (there is
 no shell in the picture).]

I do not think you have a chance; this is a serious bug in the design
of TTYs (it should have been the shell who enables SUSP tty setting,
not the creator of TTY).  I think I saw something in XTerm changelog

  http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html

to address this shortcoming.  You may also try disabling tty's SUSP
setting from inside emacs in this situation:

  xterm -e env NO_SHELL=yes emacs -nw

and check for NO_SHELL in your .emacs (do not know how to do analogue
of stty from within emacs; of couse, you can call stty directly).

Hope this helps,
Ilya

Actually, on my machine, C-z doesn't suspend Emacs when started with
xterm -e emacs -nw.

> I do not think you have a chance;

I think "kill -CONT pid-of-emacs" should do it.

It happens for me now and then that I press Ctrl + Z when I want Ctrl + X...  

That's annoying because I was editing some document and was stopped by C + z.

put this in your ~/.emacs

(global-set-key (kbd "C-z") (lambda nil (interactive) (beep)))
