I am quite sure that is not the way original | Unix worked. It may have to do with the way that process groups/privs | are handling signals these days... I suppose it is, but its kind of a nuisance to hunt down dead jobs and its not always practical or desirable to have some kind of runaway job, especially the way the output-heavy jobs crank the CPU utlization up on my machines. I like to think that a hard disconnect should also be thought of in the worst possible terms; I've lost my physical connection, perhaps permanently. If you take that assumption, its seems really undesirable to keep interactive jobs running unattended. | There should be a way to "reconnect" to disconnected jobs, much | like in old TOPS-10, ie to reassociate controlling ttys to detached jobs. | It is the I/O (stdin/stdout/stderr/ctty) analog of signals, parent/child, | and job control. I've always wanted the basic functions of screen built into bash, or at least the connect/reconnect capabilities.
