I once wrote a shell program that repeatedly did a 'ps -augx' but I suppose
any command would work.  I then ran it with a 'nohup' and then hung up
the phone, because it was going too fast and I couldn't get a chance to
stop it.  I called back but as soon as I connected to the machine, this
program was writing its output to my terminal even though I hadn't logged
on yet.  I called back and went through telnet to another computer then
telneted to my machine and could then kill it.  Can anyone explain how
this might of happened and any other information along the same lines?
