Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have noticed this strange behaviour of the xterm program. When I run xterm and after I quit it, either issuing the exit command in the shell or killing the window via window manager, well the xterm process really is quit and xterm is closed but if I look with w or who at the users on the system the xterm user process is still present like an idle process and everytime I open a new xterm and quit it, well this always happen and on my system the w output look like this after a while: 8:13AM up 1 day, 23:15, 3 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.17, 0.17 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT admin p1 axdel1.bo.infn.i 7:59AM 1 (pine) admin p3 axdel1.bo.infn.i 8:12AM - w admin p4 axdel1.bo.infn.i 8:13AM - - the last user showed is what I mean,and it is very weird and if some users open many xterms and then quit well the system is all messed up with not existent users. If I look to processes with ps -aux these processes reported by w and who are not existent....so I wonder is it a bug of xterm or w or who or what else? I tryed it on other 2.2.6 RELEASE systems and I found the same trouble. Dos anyone know how to fix it?? thanks Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
