- hi. i have some stuff that takes about 8 hours to compile.
- i typed "make -k all >& mall &" at 11.30pm and when i
- came back to my linux box at 7.30am, the OS had done an auto-logout
- for the user (root) who had originated that make, but the machine was
- still churning away at the make.
- if i had wanted to switch the machine off for some reason,
- i don't know how i could have killed the process to enable it.
- is this auto-logout behaviour normal from Linux (or unices in general)?
- what is the cure?
