Terminal Process creation
Hi
I use Suse linux at work and noticed when you create a process from a (gnome) terminal e.g.
> emacs&
the process becomes a child process of the terminal and will die if the terminal dies. The unfortunate thing about this is top adds the CPU usage of the child process to that of the terminal.
I know this is not the case with my debian machine at home and not the case with solaris. Can anyone tell me if this is configurable?
Cheers
