Try this: xterm -e zsh -c "tty ; sleep 10000" & This should give you an xterm showing the name of its tty device. Assume for purposes of this example that it's /dev/ttyp2. Now run this: zsh -l < /dev/ttyp2 >& /dev/ttyp2 That may break a few things (such as "less") because /dev/tty might still be the terminal from which you run "zsh -l", but everything else should be OK. Now you can try to get zsh to exit, and the error message ought to show up in one terminal or the other. "sleep 10000" is about 2 hours 45 minutes; you might need a bigger number.
