The other day I was testing lots of output to a DECstation 3100 from the
network. I had 4 windows open each doing lots of output. (ie. ls -R from /)
I decided that I didn't really want to stop each process (laziness at its
finest) and simply did a quit from the dxsession window. Next a user logs
into the DECstation. They open a window and all the output from my process
suddenly appears in their window. I was unable to break out of the program
however ps reported my process still running and attached to their pty. Is
this a problem in the pty driver? This is the second time I have seen this
happen. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
