Cool, I get it now :) I think your two options are: get the user
program to run in screen, then you can attach and detach it with a remote
ssh/telnet connection.. or use ttysnoop to look at the tty and get the
user to press whatever keys you want to press (or hack ttysnoop to do that
also, but I don't like your chances). I'm not aware of anything else, but
hey, someone enlighten me.
