Backgrounding processes

[David J. Wilson]

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... :)
