| Hi, | Whenever I login to my woody server and run a command | and place it in the background, I can't logout from the putty | window properly. | For example: | I'll use putty (ssh), login and run an rsync command over the network. | (This command may take 10 minutes) | So I ^Z it, and then bg it to the background. | I then use the exit command and I logout but the putty window hangs. | | If I don't have background commands running everything is fine. | | Anyone else have this problem? | Its not really a big deal, just wondering if this is putty thing or what. | | Thanks | Mike
I think that it's an (ba)sh/ssh(d)/init thing. When you kill off the connection, your child processes should chain up so that eventually init should adopt them and take care of them until they die. However, I don't think that ssh(d) is doing it's job and orphaning them for init to adopt. I haven't tried any other windows ssh clients to see if this is true or not. Otherwise putty isn't making a clean connection as other have said. HTH, Brooks -- Brooks R.
