If you 'ln -s /dev/null /dev/ptmx', you will be able to exit, but you won't be able to use the unix() and ! commands (you mention in your original email that they work fine). Basically without the fake /dev/ptmx, I see the same behavior as you. With it, I can quit, but can't use unix() and ! to run external commands. It's a tradeoff. Which do you want more... to exit cleanly without having to kill procs or to be able to run external commands? I don't know how easy it will be to fix this without support for Unix 98 ptys in the FreeBSD kernel. See the thread (can't quit matlab 12.1...) back on 8/8/01 and 8/9/01, particularly message-id <15218.38651.258849.4333@brain.timing.com>. > Has anyone solved this problem or have any suggestions how > to? Not that I'm aware of. It will take someone to implement the missing ioctls to really fix it (see the Aug thread).
