Yes, that's what's supposed to happen. How could you run daemons from the command line otherwise? You can use the `huponexit' shell option, but that's only in effect for interactive login shells. Also, by default, the shell looks for stopped jobs when it exits (or running jobs with the `checkjobs' option enabled) and reports them. This allows you to send them a HUP if you want.
