- hi,
- I have this problem:
-
- shell <------ parent
- |
- |
- mail reader <------ child
-
- and I start up another process, say screen in this shell also:
-
- shell
- / \
- / \
- mail reader screen
- / \ ...
- / \
- shell emacs
-
- Is it possible to do this? :
-
- shell
- |
- |
- screen
- / \ ...
- / \
- shell emacs
- |
- |
- mail reader
-
- i.e., transfer mail reader to another shell, which is a child of the
- previous one? The most likely answer to this is no, but will someone
- give me an explanation????
-
- thanks a lot
