Description Harald Nikolisin 2005-03-04 11:35:26 UTC

Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE 3.3.2 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.11-default

Actually I don't know who is responsible for following bug.. But maybe the konsole team knows who is the right person for this problem.

Within konsole I log into a remote host with openssh. On the remote computer I start a long calculation with "nohup makesomething long&". Then I want to log out with the "exit" command. After the "logout" message the konsole hangs and is not usable until "makesomething" has terminated. Something does not respect the "nohup" command. With the current mechanism remote calculation makes no sense.
This is the output when logging out of the remote host:

--------------
me@superhost:~/work> exit
logout
--------------

nothing more...

That's just ssh that hasn't finished. It doesn't believe your session ended. And it's probably right.

Sorry, but I think this is no bug. It is certainly not anything we can do from our side (Konsole). Take a look at www.openssh.org and see if there's a mailing list where you can ask.

ok, I thought that's SSH related. but openSSH handles this situation wrong. that's for sure. "nohup" discouple the new process from the parent, which is the remote login shell.

thanks for your information
