Hi, friends

I have a program in which i am calling the daemon() syscall so the it leaves the terminal and goes continue running into background. Now wt i am expecting is I want tht process back to foreground. And it should be done through programming.

I kno the "fg" can be used to bring a process foreground but I want it through progrming aka using syscalls/lib functions like tht..

I would guess that you would have to hit the system process structure for this process and set stdin, stdout, and stderr to some values that would let you interact with your un-daemonized daemon. This wouldn't work, though, if the daemon had closed those files; if they were closed then one would expect that the daemon would never look at them again. If, however, it had redirected them to /dev/null, you might get control of it by doing this.

It might be possible to take the daemon away from init, but I would guess that the way to do this could vary from version to version of the kernel, so any solution might prove to be non-portable.
