Okay, now it's your turn to explain a bit more.
Are you saying that my Procomm session disconnected without realizing
it was disconnected and without sending some sort of message to UNIX
saying "hey, i have disconnected", and therefore UNIX didn't clean up.
Wouldn't UNIX sense a broken connection even though a nice, neat, "hey,
I'm disconnected" message didn't arrive?
One thing I can see clearly now, and thanks in advance for leading me
to think it out myself. That is, I understand why kermit is hanging
around. Obviously, if UNIX thinks I'm still running my shell, there's
no reason to send a HUP to kill kermit. But why does it still think
I'm running my shell when my session terminated? I know this goes back
to the previous paragraph's question, and I await what I'm sure will be
a very interesting answer.
