Hi,
Seems like it's no longer possible to properly background a process. What I mean is, in the past I could run something like fetchmail (i.e. fetchmail -d 900), exit my shell, and it would keep running. Now when I run fetchmail in such a manner, if I try and exit the shell it hangs, and when I forcefully close the window, fetchmail goes along with it. Same thing happens with other programs. I know for certain that it used to work.
Apologies if this has already been covered on the list. I did run a quick search... :)
