Oh. Well, your needs weren't clear to me. I just thought you wanted to simply suspend telnet or ssh, which is explained in the man pages. I didn't realize you also intended to disconnect (close) the connection. > and yes I do rtfm, do u read questions or do u just answer them :) > > -> ouch! > > Seriously, I'm not trying to start a flame, I 'm just looking for some > answers I understand your frustration. Sorry for increasing it by not understanding your requirements. Quite frankly, I don't think you can accomplish (what I now think you want) once you close the tcp/ip connection. Something must continue running to keep the connection alive. Certainly, moving to a different ip address will require a fresh log in. -- Paul A.
