Another use case, as I outlined in the Gentoo Forums post, is to handle orphans of badly written programs. I remember seeing someone mentioning certain GNOME programs behaving this way, which seems to be a reason systemd began to kill nohup'ed processes. The only program I have witnessed to behave this way is cjdroute, the service program of cjdns, which is part of why I dislike the current implementation of the latter (as I mentioned in the UP2020 document). -- My current OpenPGP key: RSA4096/0x227E8CAAB7AA186C (expires: 2020.10.19) 7077 7781 B859 5166 AE07 0286 227E 8CAA B7AA 186C
