So you want to require screen users to break their current user experience by having them to write (system-wide) upstart scripts? Moreover, this won't work for users that don't have necessary priviledges. Use case: We have a lab of powerful ubuntu computer to which potentially thousands of students can log in via gdm or ssh and start long-running jobs in a screen session. They of course don't have the knowledge nor priviledges to write and install scripts and the system administrators don't know which of the students exactly will use their screen sessions. Sorry, there must be some better way to deal with long-running background processes. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
