it's just a standard design problem.
I'll still put Jack in the console, I think, to keep it off my desktop, and
just look there occasionally to see how things have been going.
Actually, can I somehow take the jackstart output that goes to the F2
console and pipe it to a file that I could look at from KDE? That would be
nice too.
I think in this type of situation the "screen" utility could come in
handy. You can run a program like "screen jackstart" or whatever from a
virtual terminal and then do a "CTRL-A D" to detach from it (it is still
running) and then in an X terminal you can do a "screen -r" at any time
to re-attach to the running program. I'm not sure how to do this between
different users so you will probably need to su to root in your X
terminal (if you are running the application as root) before this will
work (or perhaps there is a way to grab screen sessions from other
users, after entering a password or something, donno). Cheers.
