Um, no. There is *no* expectation of a random command surviving loss of
its controlling tty (ie logout) unless explcit steps were taken to
mitigate it. Such as the command daemonizing itself or ignoring
SIGHUP -- either explicitly or via use of nohup (which also gives the
added benefit of capturing stdout)
'&' in of itself was *never* any sort of guarantee, regardless of
foolish expectations to the contrary.
Wrong, for all csh users.
You folks are all talking from quite narrow perspectives.
