Public bug reported: I'm using the terminal from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal that comes with Ubuntu 7.10
After typing "<application_name> &" into the terminal and closing the terminal, I was expecting the terminal to close but the application to continue running. What happened when i closed the terminal was that the application closed as well when it should have been running. I have tried running applications like xload, glxgears glchess in the background by using the & sign. eg: glchess & but the applications still terminated. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- running applications in background using & https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221511 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
