If by "periodically" you mean "polling", then no, I don't want to do that. I know a few terminal emulators do that, but it is bad for power consumption and battery life.

I didn't know that. I did try putting an inotify watch on the slave pseudo-terminal device, but it did not pick up any events. inotify(7) says: "Furthermore, various virtual filesystems such as /proc, /sys, and /dev/pts are not monitorable with inotify." Or is there any other way to detec this? Thanks, Debarshi
