Hello, I want to configure bash in order that background process remains alive if we close the windows from which we have lauched the process (this would be especially usefull for X applications: if I lauch emacs& ; I do not want that closing the xterm windows close emacs). I have tried the shopt -u huponexit option but it does not work for nacground process: shopt -u huponexit emacs& then if we close the xterm window; emacs will quit.
I can manually disown the process: emacs& disown but would it possible to have that automatically? Olive __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
