From:  Joft Saks <saks@ll-xn.ARPA>

We recently switched from version 7 UNIX to 4.2 BSD.  On our
old system, it was possible to logout from the shell while
background jobs were running, and the jobs continued to run.
However, on our new system, the jobs apparently terminate at logout.
This is from the shell only; when one logs out from the C-shell, 
background jobs continue to run.

Has anyone seen this problem?  Does anyone know the cause
and/or have a solution?  An alternative explanation is that
our version 7 shell was hacked to allow background jobs to
continue after logout and that the "standard" shell kills
background jobs at logout.  Does anyone know anything
about this possibility?

Please explicitly include me in any responses as I am not on the
wizards list.  Thanks.
