Not knowingly. I ssh in to a machine with bash as my login shell, start something in the background, log out, log back in, and it's still running. For instance, mtbc@samuel:~$ sleep 12345 & [1] 4052 mtbc@samuel:~$ exit logout Connection to samuel closed. but reconnect later and, mtbc@samuel:~$ ps awux | grep sleep mtbc 4052 0.0 0.0 5792 352 ? S 22:08 0:00 sleep 12345 mtbc 4138 0.0 0.1 8028 836 pts/3 S+ 22:08 0:00 grep sleep Will systemd change that? Maybe it depends how "session" is defined. Or maybe ssh / bash are implicitly doing some nohup-like thing? -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
