Re: tty for each perl threads

You could try opening STDOUT (and/or STDERR) to the respective pty of the terminal emulator where the output is to be routed to, i.e. something like

open STDOUT, ">", "/dev/pts/7" or die $!;
[download]

To figure out which pty is associated with a certain terminal/shell, you can for example use

$ ls -l /proc/$$/fd/1
lrwx------ 1 almut almut 64 2010-03-22 00:16 /proc/25932/fd/1 -> /dev/
+pts/7

(on Linux, that is — paths may be different on other systems)

What about using the 'tty' command? It should be available in Linux: me@host> tty /dev/pts/53 my $tty = `/bin/tty`; [download] I thought that was standard for all *nix systems, but at the least it works on Solaris and several Linux distros.	[reply] [d/l]
