Job processes


Is is possible to move a process from one shell to another (local to remote)

e.g.

if
my_code.sh &

#jobs

[1]- Running my_code.sh &


was started on one remote shell is it possible to move it to the foreground on another shell as root or another user?

Thanks

No, because each instance of the shell maintains its own joblist.

You could achieve what you're after if you started the job under
the control of 'screen'

hi

try "my_code.sh & > /dev/ttyX"

i m not sure that this job will be listed as ttyX's job or not.
maybe just only output will be redirected .

May be able to do this with retty. I don't know where upstream is, but there are 32 bit binary packages for Debian:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=retty

I used to use retty heavily before I got into the habit of using screen.

Linux/Unix has a very weak notion of "a job," if you confine yourself to simply what a shell provides. But of course, this is Linux: you don't have to "confine yourself" with regards to anything. If you need true job-management, either for a single computer or for a cluster, open-source packages to do this are very readily available.
