Processes that attempt to shed their controlling terminal do so well enough for the tty to show as ? in ps output, but they still keep the console window they were launched from open, after all other processes using it have exited.
This is particularly annoying with ssh-agent - if I exit the shell in the terminal that launched it, that terminal becomes a zombie, hanging around for no purpose. If I close that window using the Windows close box, the ssh-agent is killed. I'm not an expert in the ways of Unix ttys. Can anyone help me understand where the problem lies?
