This is how z/OS emulates UNIX processes. Some are invoked by fork() which leaves the 'parent' task running. All invoked this way will terminate when the invoking task ends. Others (like FTPD) are invoked by spawn() which leaves the process running even when the 'parent' goes away. These are better managed by modifying USS address spaces (OMVS) to terminate, or through the shell. This is not new to z/OS 1.7, or even OS/390; I think it came out with ESA 5. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
