linux to ask passwords.
for example I am running some process in console
and If I (
possibly others) wish to kill this process it has
to ask me
password before killing that process.
Look at pam configuration (man pam)
or
something like running the process in super user
mode as a
background or foreground process and can I exit
from the superuser
mode either in GUI or CUI with the process still
continuing
use nohup to run process in background even after
logout.
man nohup.
Or instead, use screen.
http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html
Using it, I'm running my IRC client for days! though
windows nt is known for frequent crashes, screen puts
the processes in background (like nohup).
Note: I am used to ssh from a windows nt system to our
linux server ;(
Anyway I don't understand relation between first and
second query?
They look different.
