Dear misc@ readers,
I'm lost with the subject... From the man page I see that, differently
from standard ksh, OpenBSD implementation by default do *not* send
SIGHUP signals to child processes when a SIGHUP is received by the
parent shell and that this mechanism can be changed through:
set +o nohup
So far, so good; now:
[....................snip....................]
<open a new xterm>
$ sleep 30 &
[1] 46318
$ pgrep -fl sleep
46318 sleep 30
<close the terminal and open a new one>
$ pgrep -fl sleep
46318 sleep 30
[....................snip....................]
As expected, the sleep process is still there. But:
[....................snip....................]
<open a new xterm>
set +o nohup
$ sleep 30 &
[1] 83071
$ pgrep -fl sleep
83071 sleep 30
<close the terminal and open a new one>
$ pgrep -fl sleep
83071 sleep 30
[....................snip....................]
Even after having cleared the shell option, the process is not killed.
Just in case, I also tried with:
set -o nohup
observing the same behavior.
Could you please give me some hints?
All the best
