0.9
---
- Added AIX support.
- Added dtach -N, a mode similar to dtach -n, except dtach will stay in the
foreground instead of daemonizing.
- Added dtach -p, which copies the contents of standard input to a session.
- dtach will no longer send 255 bytes of garbage to the program when read()
returns an error.
- The executable bit is now set on the socket if clients are attached, and
cleared when all clients have detached.
- The initial state of signals such as SIGPIPE are now preserved when
executing the program, instead of having the program start with some signals
ignored.
- A buffer overflow no longer occurs when a long socket path name is used, and
dtach will now try to use chdir to get around the length limitation if
necessary.
Problems found locating distfiles:
Package colorls: missing distfile ls.tar.gz
Package molden: missing distfile molden-4.6/molden4.6.tar.gz
Package softmaker-office-demo: missing distfile ofl06trial.tgz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Patch provided by MAINTAINER, Francis GUDIN.
The changes in version 0.8 are:
- When using dtach -A or dtach -c, the master will now wait until the client
attaches before trying to read from the program being executed. This avoids
a race condition when the program prints something and exits before the
client can attach itself.
- Instead of exiting quietly, dtach will now report any errors that occur
while trying to execute the program.
- dtach -n can now be used without a terminal.
- dtach -A will now try to detect and remove stale sockets.
- Removed a Linux-specific escape sequence from the code that restores the
original terminal settings.
- Changed dtach.1 to use \- for the dashes in command line options, and
fix an ambiguous backslash.
- Use non-blocking mode in the master process, and avoid data loss by ensuring
that at least one attaching client succesfully completes a write.
- Fix -e ^<char> to work with lowercase characters.
dtach is a tiny program that emulates the detach feature of screen,
allowing you to run a program in an environment that is protected from
the controlling terminal and attach to it later. dtach does not keep
track of the contents of the screen, and thus works best with programs
that know how to redraw themselves.
