This could have worked as well. What seems to be broken is the intermittant use of single, short-term commands, mixed with keeping the shell idle for long periods of time. It works initially, but as soon as the system gets a little more busy (or whatever might trigger that problem, i haven't found out yet), it suddenly stops working. A single long-running command will likely work, see my experience with starting yet another shell inside the EHS. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
