- I'm not sure if this is a shell problem or OS problem. I'll start with the
- OS....
-
- I ran a process in the background from tcsh with the ampersand (&). I would
- have expected that when I logged out of the shell that my background processes
- would have died as well, but they didn't.
-
- Is the shell responsible for killing the background processes, or, since the
- shell is the parent of them and has been terminated, shouldn't the OS kill
- the processes automatically?
-
- I'm using tcsh 6.01 and linux 0.97pl2.
