When I start a process running in the background, as in, "xplanet -projection rectangular 2>/dev/null &", why when I exit the terminal window, does that process die? Kind of defeats the purpose of shoving it to the background if you still have to keep the eterm open.
I can't reproduce this with aterm.
xev & exit
and xev is still running (granted, it is completely useless without a terminal, but it is all i could think of that didnt fork itself when run).
