To solve this problem, you can resume a stopped process using your shell's
fg command. Then, after making sure all your information is saved,
you can quit through the process's user interface.
Alternately, you can simply issue the logout or exit
command a second time, killing the process and all its subprocesses.
8.2.2. Malformed .logout File
Certain statements in your .logout file could cause problems during
logout.
8.2.3 nohup
Sometimes you actually want processes to run after you logout. One
way to do this is to invoke a command called nohup.
nohup is short for no hang-up. Say you want to search a
huge disk for a file but you want to logout and get a pizza while it
is searching. You could type:
nohup find /bigdisk -name file
and the results will be stored in a file called nohup.out.
