Works in any Linux terminal?

Or does it have to be used in screen?
I get this when trying:
>>> reptyr 8274
Unable to attach to pid 8274: Operation not permitted
The kernel denied permission while attaching. If your uid matches
the target's, check the value of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope.
For more information, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
>>> sudo reptyr 8274
[sudo] password for root:
[-] Unable to open the tty in the child.
Unable to attach to pid 8274: Permission denied
Hm, I think that it won't work currently if run on a non-root process as root
, although I might be able to fix that.
Does sudo reptyr -T $pid
work? That will engage a different mode of attaching, which is designed to work if run as root, among other things.
sudo reptyr -T $pid
didn't work. It seems to freeze the terminal where the job I want to transfer is located, and on the destination terminal where I ran sudo reptyr -T $pid
the process just hangs, but I can ctrl+c
out of it.
I also had this same issue on Ubuntu 14.04, but it was solved by following the suggestion in the README:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
and then executing reptyr
as non-root (using the same user that initiated the process).
Faced this issue in ubuntu 16.04 but sudo reptyr -T $pid
worked.

Did you run fg
to bring it to the foreground?
