Dario,

It works great for me just as you suggested (*). I don't like using "tty" 
mode, so there's no issue for me. I was thinking perhaps it didn't work for 
Shane because he might be using "tty" mode.

However, if the SIGHUP doesn't get delivered (in "tty" mode), there's 
really no hook to hang this technique upon, it seems.


(*) In further investigating options using "trap," I discovered I can no 
longer repeat my earlier success, regardless of whether I use "tty" or not.

There's something odd afoot here. When and if I figure out more, I'll 
report back.
