    Post process struck at write() call

    Hi friends,

    My GNU Screen(process) is struck at write() system call. I tried to attach strace to the process. here is the output.
    ***************************************
    $ /usr/bin/strace -ivx -p 5477 (screen pid)
    Process 5477 attached - interrupt to quit
    [008fb7a2] write(4, "\x0d\x1b\x5b\x33\x39\x42\x1b\x5b\x37\x6d\x53\x77\ x69\x74"..., 4020 <unfinished ...>
    Process 5477 detached
    ***************************************

    Can somebody point me on how to overcome this problem? It will be nice if you can let me know what exactly it is doing in this write() system call.

    Thanks in advance

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The question should be, what is it writing to? The write() function will block until it is complete unless you make the connection/operation non-blocking. Then you can check the state of the connection if the bytes written don't agree with the number passed.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
