- I think so, too, especially if no specialized issues like openpty/forkpty arise here.thiton– thiton2011-09-20 18:31:37 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2011 at 18:31
- Tried to flag it for migration, but Linux/Unix is not a valid migration target. Trying gradient descent, Super User is already a slightly better target than this site, and maybe they can route it to an even better site.thiton– thiton2011-09-20 19:25:29 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2011 at 19:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
