Yes, generally, this is how you do it.

You shouldnt need to. If you mean that you want to kill some application 
that you started
in your old session, then try the kill (man kill) command.

Save the output from cvsup. If you're using the GUI, just click the save 
button, and it will save in the "./cvsup.log" (or something like that). If 
you're using the command line cvsup, I cant recall any flag for output 
saves, but you can always use the script (man script) command, like so...

# script /home/youruser/yourlog.file
...some info...
# cvsup yourcvsupfile
...updating updating updating...
# <ctrl-d>
...done...

Now, check the /home/youruser/yourlog.file for changes and updates.
