Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist detachtty lets you run interactive programs non-interactively (in a pty), and connect to them over the network when you do need to interact with them. It's designed for long-running Lisp processes and similar "runs mostly unattended but occasionally needs to be typed at" systems. Unlike screen, it works in emacs comint modes, and unlike qcmu, it deals correctly with passing on a SIGINT sent to it. It requires ssh for operation over the net.
detachtty is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version. More information from http://ww.telent.net/cliki/detachtty
