[Gllug] Disconnected ssh sessions and pseudo-terminals

[Ziya Suzen]

Hi there

Sometimes I hate my ADSL provider. Connections keep dropping
and I loose my SSH connections. What I usually do is to ignore
them and open new SSH sessions. However it gets annoying
when you have an editor already opened on a file, you 'ps' it
and see it opened there, but you can't exit the editor (vi) or take
control of the now not-used pts.

I have tried a few tricks without any luck:

Exit the Editor:
 # echo -n ^[ >> /dev/pts/1
 # echo -n :x >> /dev/pts/1

(Note:key combination typed for escape: ctrl+v, Esc)

And hopelessly tried 'screen' to get to the orphan terminal :(

Any ideas?

Cheers
