Telnet session causing xmotif to close.

[brian_31]

Hi:

We have a case where we have 6 Applications(Heavy Motif) (users come from xemulator from PC).
we also have one lite motif App (the script telnets to a remote box and displays an application)
what is Happenning is when the lite motif app(telnet) is closed by the user it also takes down one heavy
(the same Appln) always. Wonder why. The only similarity is that both these applications are seamless
(meaning they occupy the whole window) Any thoughts?

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,

If I understand it correctly, it is like doing a telnet, exporting the display and then running the x-apps. If telnet is killed which is the parent process of x-apps, it will also take away x-apps.

If you can modify the script, add nohup infront of your application startup. This way, if the parent gets killed, it will get attached to the init process and will still continue to run. For ex., the script will be

nohup /path_to_your_app/application &
