Hm.
pooma% cat
=2E..
In the other shell,
pooma% ps auxww | grep cat
kostik 41346 0.0 0.0 5824 1084 2 I+ 11:34PM 0:00.00 cat
pooma% procstat -i 41346 | grep PIPE
41346 cat PIPE ---
pooma% sudo cat
=2E..
and
pooma% ps auxww | grep cat
root 41360 0.0 0.0 5824 1084 2 S+ 11:36PM 0:00.01 cat
pooma% procstat -i 41366 | grep PIPE
41366 cat PIPE ---
And now
oma% sudo -k cat =
~
Password:
=2E..
and
pooma% ps auxww | grep cat
root 41387 0.0 0.0 5824 1084 2 S+ 11:39PM 0:00.01 cat
pooma% procstat -i 41387 | grep PIPE
41387 cat PIPE -I-
