Hi, I have found that background processes prevent the terminal window from closing. I have tried with the cmd terminal as well as mintty. Here is a simple example:
$ notepad .profile & [1] 10260 $ exit logout The window remains until I close the notepad window. I have also reproduced the issue using a simple looping shell script instead of a windows program. I thought that running disown would detach the process to turn it into a daemon, but this has no effect. Is there any way to detach running background processes such that the terminal can be closed?
