Can you not just do a tcgetpgrp() periodically (or upon tty setting change since modern shells change the tty settings when entering and leaving their prompt) on the pseudo-tty (doing it on the master side seems to work as well at least on Linux) and use the names of the processes in that group (from /proc for instance)? That would have the advantage of being shell-agnostic. -- Stephane
