I'd assumed that the apps started by cinnamon when I logged in would

non-X11 programs that hang around forever and watch files.  Those
programs just get passed off to PID 1 when one logs out and continue on
their merry way till the system reboots.  If one logs in again, another
instance of the program is started.

The exact program I'm running is a IMAP watcher that watches my remote
INBOX and grabs the new mail as soon as it arrives.   It would be good
if it stopped when I logged out.

           /usr/bin/getmail --idle=INBOX

Any ideas?  Do I have to keep track of the PID myself and find a logout
hook to hang a kill -HUP onto?  Does .bash_logout or .logout even get
called?

I am not sure but it could be systemd-logind; try editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and change:

#KillUserProcesses=no

to
KillUserProcesses=yes

then reboot the system or restart systemd-logind.service.

(Check the logind.conf manual page for more details).
