Re: Subprocess strangeness
OK, I guess it's just that machine, I don't know why. I tried it on my other Pi with Raspbian Buster and that doesn't do it. Nor a couple of Debian machines running Buster and Spike. I should have tried that before posting. I hadn't really kept track of where it was happening. That's my summer Pi so I've been spending a lot of time on it lately and imagined the problem was everywhere.

Right, sounds like the launcher scripts and/or rxvt code has changed in this regard, we never did anything to child processes on the mc side - so what Alan describes is actually the normal vanilla behavior. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

I tested mc-4.8.25 with following terminal emulators: mate-terminal-1.12.1 xterm-320 urxvt-9.20 All of them works as described above: child window is alive after parent one closed. -- Andrew ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc

Subprocess strangeness
I've been using mc for 20 years or more and only seen this in the last couple weeks. I use rxvt as my terminal emulator mostly. I could navigate to where I wanted another terminal in mc, then type rxvt & and a new independent window would open there. I could close the original window and the new one stayed open. Now whenever I close the parent one all the children close too, even though I remember the & to make it independent. At first I wasn't sure it was happening. I just did this: type mc in an rxvt, type rxvt & in the new one, hit F10 in the original and the new one closes. The new one somehow depends on mc still running, lxterminal works the same way. This is mc 4.8.22 in Rasbian Buster, I mostly only install it from the debs. Some routine apt-get update and upgrade did this. ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
