I just started mc in a few of my xterms, and here's the result: 32195 p0 S 0:00 mc 32197 pe S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32200 p9 S 0:00 mc 32202 pf S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32203 p8 S 0:00 mc 32205 q0 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32206 pa S 0:00 mc 32208 q1 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32209 pb S 0:00 mc 32211 q2 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32212 pd S 0:00 mc 32214 q3 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc 32215 p4 R 0:00 ps ax 32216 p4 S 0:00 less My .xsession starts up 14 xterms, and I run mc locally in a few of them, and remote mc with ssh in several more. So I wouldn't worry. Having them ready and waiting is far quicker for me than having to start them when I already need them. (There are 90 processes running and I'm really in my lunch break.)
