Taking control of an orphaned process

[Mike Kerner]

I had a recovery shell running when my connection terminated. Upon logging back in I see that the process is still active. Is there some way to take control of this or any other process that has been orphaned?

no you can't, however for future reference you may wish to consider the very useful tool "screen", available from: -

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/screen-4.0.2/

If you are running a long process which you want to be able to return to, you can use screen to create a virtual tty, to which you can connect and disconnect at will. useful in case of PC crashes etc.

Very useful tool.

Hi


No . It is not possible


Your process was connected to a tty and that is gone.

kill them . Only thing to do . Wait and see if process finishes if no io expected

... a process launched with nohup will be immunised from SIGHUP (or SIGQUIT) signal.

Syntax : nohup executable &
Rem : the output of the command will be redirected to nohup.out.

My 2 cents
