When you close putty using an Alt+F4 or use the close button then a SIGHUP isn't always sent. The server doesn't know that the session was terminated and may keep it going. Usually you will need to sign back in and send a kill -HUP signal to the parent (shell) process. This behavior can be observed on a NetBSD server that I remote login to regularly. - -- Robert Pendell [EMAIL PROTECTED] "A perfect world is one of chaos."
