- I think there is a problem with this: the output from the command
- will have nowhere to go, since the tty that it was writing to is now
- gone. As far as I know, it will not take your current tty as it's new
- tty. So, it will probably stop as soon as you continue it, or just
- sit there and eat cpu but not do anything
