Hi
Can you tell me what does that error mean
[HTML]

read (subshell_pty...): Input/output error (5)
or
read (subshell_pty...): No child processes (10)[/HTML]

I got this messages when I quit "mc"

Thx

I can't replicate the error. A google search showed some other people have experience this, but they were foreign language sites, that I could not make heads or tails of. How did you quit mc. I typed exit and got no errors.

I did the same as Ringwrath, at first, but searching on just "subshell_pty" yielded this post which I think explains it.

Quote:

When an external command is executed in mc with subshell support, quite often some characters of its output are swallowed.
