Bring a cron job to foreground
Hi,

Is there any way to associate a job started by cron to a terminal and bring it to foreground.

Thanks

Use atd instead of crond
If simple "at" don't work then think of some combined logic. Most probably you should be able to achieve your task. Good luck!!!

Wicked idea: run it in a screen(1) from cron, and see if you can attach to that from a terminal?
