[comp.sys.apollo] C-shell does not hangup

jnp@mjolner.tele.nokia.fi (J|rgen N|rgaard) (06/07/89)

I've noticed recently that the following scenario leaves emacs's hanging:

	start a new shell, either by rlogin or a new window under X

	start emacs

	suspend emacs

	insist on exit'ing the shell despite of stopped jobs

then, using ps acgux, you'll find the above (suspended) emacs is still
alive. You can kill it using kill HUP <process-no>.

I would expect csh to hangup on stopped processes when it was exiting.

Anybody else seen something similar -- or is my setup wrong ?

In article <JNP.89Jun7151548@mjolner.tele.nokia.fi> jnp@mjolner.tele.nokia.fi
(J|rgen N|rgaard) writes about a scenario in which emacs is left hanging.

My problem appears under SR9.7 with TCP3.1.  People TELNET-ing into a node,
and as they work, the C and Bourne Shells spawn out-of-process tasks which
don't ever go away!  This is inspite of my having set "env INPROCESS 'true'"
in the node's /sys/node_data/startup.19l.

In addition, many of the telnet processes just hang around forever, unless they
are issued a ^D to logged out or explicitly killed.  Is there some way to make
them die after a given period of inactivity.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
