Upon further investigation, it seems that the situation is a bit
different on AIX v3.1 (RS6000) - children seem to be properly
determining their tty, but I still see bizarre problems:
[csh] 4:deborah> bash
~
[bash] 1:deborah>
~
[bash] 1:deborah> passwd
Changing password for "hogdenb"
[1]+ Stopped (tty output)passwd
~
[bash] 2:deborah> fg
passwd
hogdenb's Old password:
hogdenb's New password:
Re-enter hogdenb's new password:
~
[bash] 3:deborah> exec passwd
Changing password for "hogdenb"
hogdenb's Old password:
hogdenb's New password:
Re-enter hogdenb's new password:
[csh] 5:deborah> bash
~
[bash] 1:deborah> csh
[1]+ Stopped (tty input) csh
~
[bash] 2:deborah> fg
csh
[csh] 1:deborah>
The info docs on the RS6000 state explicitly that control of the
terminal is inherited by a child in a fork().
Again, anyone out there actually know what is going on here?
Thanks,
Brett
