[Gllug] Changing destination of shell output

[Rhys Hopkins]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change redirected output from a
background or stopped job to another file descriptor ?

I envisage doing something like the following:

bash # ./myscript.sh
Output from script
Output from script
...
Output from script
Output from script
^Z
bash # <redirect output of job 1 to /dev/null>
bash # bg 1
bash #

This has been puzzling me for a while now and I can't find anything in the
man pages to suggest
it can be done, but at least I could rest easier if I knew it was definitely
impossible.

Cheers,

Rhys.
