On my system, iceweasel dies when the terminal is killed because it gets a SIGHUP. If you want your process to stick around after the parent process dies you'll need to make sure you handle at least that signal. You can find a list of the things you really should do to create a daemon at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/programmer/faq/, search for "How do I get my program to act like a daemon". -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
