- Sure. The master job is a batch job. It cannot disconnect.

-
- Correct.

-
- It is stuff coming out of the slave process. The way this works in PMDF is that
- SLAVE exits and then SLAVE.COM stops the process. If, for instance, you have
- SET VERIFY enabled, there will be noise from the command file that will go out
- on the line.

-
- No, I mean connect to one of those disconnected processes by logging in to the
- PMDF account and then explicitly reconnecting to one of those disconnected
- processes out there. I expect that some output should pop out and the job will
- then log out. The output that appears is what's important.
