Hi folks,
did anyone already write virtual terminal fileserver, which allows
starting a normal unix process on a virtual terminal (on Linux
the /dev/pts/*) and provides access to it via 9P ?
Then we could have a client/terminal connecting to it, so we have
screen(1)-alike functionality.
greetings

i'm a little confused by this. could you describe how this will work from a
user's perspective? do you mean that a user on p9p starts 9term, but the
/dev/cons is really a /dev/pts/* etc.?

I'd like to run it on a Linux system (eg. via p9p).
It should start an given command (eg. a shell or some other application)
on a virtual terminal and provide access to it via 9P (maybe even use
separate VTs for stdio vs. stderr).
As a counterpart I'd like to have some tool which can attach to these
servers (perhaps even multiple clients to the same session), so I have
a similar feature as a detached screen(1) session.
mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi,

It may serve as inspiration :-)

To be honest I've wondered about this for a while.
Here's my quandry...
I use Vmware for Ubuntu 14 LTS.
First I start a dumbarse terminal and do:
factotum&
plumber&
sam&9term&
This gives me something I can work with.
But when I run venti, then fossil - I get no fossilcons in $ns. Fossil
works fine but you can't really keep it together without the console.
Now I digress. But I don't really.
If I try and run another 9term (as you would) you get "out of ptys".
Clearly my fscons is a failed pty.
That is my experience.
