Detachtty is a Unix system programming utility that lets you run interactive
|
|
programs (such as Lisp) non-interactively. Also, it allows you to connect to
|
|
them over the network when you do need to interact with them. It's intended for
|
|
use with long-running server processes running in Common Lisp implementations
|
|
|
|
If you've used screen, it's a similar concept, but more suited to traditional
|
|
scrolling interfaces whereas screen is better for full-screen (e.g.
|
|
curses-based) apps. Compared to screen, detachtty
|
|
|
|
- has no capability to swap between different screens (doesn't eat C-a)
|
|
- runs in line-at-a-time mode with no tty emulation (you can sanely use it in
|
|
emacs comint modes or from inside a script(1) session)
|
|
- has no features (less to go wrong)
|
|
- and thus doesn't need a configuration file either
