In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Evren. It's not a bug, it happens with any UNIX OS, not just FreeBSD. Normally, if you got disconnected, the process you executed continues running. The best way to avoid it is to configure auto-logoff. I believe it's in /etc/login.conf or somewhere else. Ask your provider.
