My question, is there a way to change what the process is interacting with one it has started? For instance, if I login it start a process and the login from another terminal, is there a way for me to "take over" the first process and bring it into interaction with the second login's shell? Is there some way that root could assume control over others jobs? Make sure that what they are doing is ok and then return them to the owner? Obivously root can send kill signals to a process to end it but can you do more in the way of control?
