[Sunhelp] kill script

[Wally]

How about trying this:


      In the XSTART command line, place the word "nohup" in lowercase
without the quotes in front of the command line, for example:

      commandline: nohup xterm -display @d &

      The nohup command instructs the shell to NOT drop any applications
that are run from itself. The problem with some of these hosts is that once
a command line is issued through the shell (start method being rexec,
telnet, etc.) and the application is run, the shell itself leaves a process
to close the application that was run from itself if the shell is shutdown.

      Simple thinking: Because the shell is closed, the application should
close as well.

      the "nohup" option leaves no sockets open on the host once the
application is closed and there is no need to use the (-1) timeout feature
to resolve the problem of the x application closing as soon as it is opened.
