- I was under the same assumption that processes attached to the controlling tty
- were killed on logout, but anything that had detached was immune. That view
- does not seem to be shared by others. I'm still not sure which way I want to
- lean yet...if a program is running on a particular tty in the background, what
- is to prevent the next user from logging in on the same tty to not get the
- output from the program? I even noticed that output from the program appeared
- at a login: prompt since getty was running on the same tty I had previously
- started a background job on. That does not seem right.
