I had wondered about that, but I'd find that usually when I log out, that all my processes eventually disappear. Virtually straight away. Sometimes, things would loiter around, and they'd prevent you from logging back in. With things the login attempt would think you're still logged in, or the desktop would never finish drawing up because it was waiting for stalled files that never closed when you first logged out, or there'd be no sound because pulseaudio had wedged. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.7-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 2 21:45:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
