I have a fully functional shell BUT I can’t close it. I’ll always have to kill the process. I use exit to leave the shell and end up in a window where I can’t enter any commands. At first I thought that it is a problem with zsh (stty raw -echo; fg kind of) but it is the same in /bin/bash and in Xterm instead of Konsole.
I actually had this exact same issue when I was working on networked. I had to kill the process, but I am not sure what went wrong.
On a side note, what if I don’t have an /bin/bash on the remote machine? Is it possible to get an fully interactive shell?
You can use /bin/sh, which is most of the time just a symbolic link to the real active shell.
