I have an application that i'm executing with in perl with the system("cmd &") call. For some reason it is requiring it have STDIN. I have closed all STDIN, STDOUT STDERR fd's and tried the POSIX setsid(). All with no luck. Is there anyway in perl I can switch the tty with posix functions and (or) fool the application into a another non-used tty?
