  12. Ok.  I see everyone is indicating that background processes should not terminate
  13. when the shell that invoked them terminates.  For some silly reason I've based
  14. my "idea" for that thought on Sun's csh that does kill my background programs
  15. when my shell terminates.
  16.  
  17. My new question would be this:  how do you force the exit of background processes
  18. on csh termination?  I would really swear up and down that nohup was used to keep
  19. the process running, but the general consenus does not seem to support that belief.
