Some programs take special measures for this; most do not. You should not expect any process started from a specific shell to survive after you exit that shell. If you want to start an arbitrary program, use the run dialog (ALT-F2) – this is what it's for. > The only explanation would be that another process > become the new parent (maybe init). Not init (exit from the desktop session and see that the program in question is closed). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819842 Title: Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and if I open an application in the terminal (for example "git gui &" and "scite &") I get the output "[1] 12619" (dependend on the job and pid) and can continue using the terminal. The problem is if I close the terminal the application is terminated too. I tested this with gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu3 and lxterminal 0.1.11-0ubuntu1.
