  If you want to muck around in the kernel address space and do gross, hideous
things to convince the process to get its input from somewhere else
temporarily, or to push input into the input queue of the process, then sure.

  If you started the process with some sort of session manager like pty,
possibly.

  Otherwise, almost certainly not.
