I occasionally build ports with extra logs enabled. When I then launch such programs from, say xterm on the background (&), I get lots of output on the controlling terminal. If I then close the terminal, where does all the output goes? I presume it's still being sent to the PID of the parent xterm. But this process no longer exists, so what happens then? Thanks Anton
