- I'm running a job which takes over the console and needs to run setuid root.
-
- It has a hotkey so I can switch back and forth to the console (i.e. to run Xwindows).
-
- After I run X, I can run the job again in foreground (via a fg command).
-
- What I want to know is the application takes several minutes to boot up, I want to load it once at boot time
- and attach to it after I login...security isn't a concern (anyone at the console should be able to run it...)
-
- How do I attach a shell to an arbitrary job and what do I have to do so anyone can attach to the job (instead
- of root).
