- good question. the literal answer is "yes". the full answer is that
- the detached processes in my code were being created (and then hibernating)
- before the user logged in, so the terminal's device name which would be
- used by any given process could not easily be predicted in advance,
- so we just created normal detached processes and then changed them
- to interactive when assigned to a true interactive process.
