Description Anu Reddy 2014-03-26 23:43:00 UTC

When the clients are executed from weston-terminal, closing the terminal terminates the clients. This is a regression.

Steps:
1. Launch Weston
2. Launch Weston-terminal
3. Execute any client application from weston-terminal (e.g. weston-dnd)
4. Close Weston-terminal. Observe both the applications are closed.

I think this is expected behavior... you can use "nohup" or "disown" which suppress SIGHUP signals so the child program isn't automatically killed when the controlling terminal is closed.

For example:

$ weston-dnd & disown
or
$ nohup weston-dnd &
