logout during make

What would happen if you logged out or rebooted for that matter during a 'make' or 'install' ? I'm just curious as my desktop is not set to confirm a logout.

'info nohup' (the man pages are a bitsketchy on this one)

It's a pretty handy command to know.

but what would happen is that (unless you were running nohup) the current processes beign executed would just fall through and the entire process would quit working and you'd have a half built program

/me resolves to actaully _read_ the question before answering... Thanks Chris.

Well actually you both answered my question - no? Thanks alot.

So if you had a half built program I assume that translates to a rather large mess.
I have already begun exploring 'nohup'.

Windows was NEVER this much fun.

Thanks again guys.

yeah basically it's a mess. you should *normally* be able to run a make again and it should pick up on the last part the program to be compiled.
