I'm running a program for a research study I'm involved in, but I've run into a slight problem. I executed it on an xterm (and it's been running for a few days now, so I don't want to stop it mid-calculation), but today is a workday. At work, I use two screens on my laptop. The only way to accomplish this is to restart X so Xinerama can take effect. Unfortunately, this will also have the nasty side effect of killing execution. Is there any way to detach the pid from that terminal and reattach it to one of the consoles? Or background it in a way where it will survive X restarting? It's not critical, but it's something I've wondered before, and which will come in extremely handy today. -- Stephen Touset <stephen@touset.org>
