> If so then do not use nohup for this purpose. Is there a special reason? For example I'm opening htop to watch the process list and after this I'm opening a new terminal and executing "nohup scite > /dev/null 2>&1 &" in it:
| /sbin/init |- x-terminal-emulator -e htop |-- /bin/bash |--- scite | ... After closing the terminal: | /sbin/init |- scite | ... Calling scite directly with Alt+F2: | /sbin/init |- scite | ... So there is no difference for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819842 Title: Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and if I open an application in the terminal (for example "git gui &" and "scite &") I get the output "[1] 12619" (dependend on the job and pid) and can continue using the terminal. The problem is if I close the terminal the application is terminated too. I tested this with gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu3 and lxterminal 0.1.11-0ubuntu1.
