VNC connection lost when initiating telnet session quits- solution!

[Sean Kamath]

The Borne shell doesn't do job control.  No "nohup" command will
insulate against SIGTERM, it only protects against SIGHUP (hence the
name).  I'm completely confused why the sh would send a TERM to the
processess.

It could be that the processes are sending a request to go in the
background (SIGSTOP) and the sh is terminating them instead.  I'll see
if I can duplicate the behaviour and see what's causing this problem,
but it sounds like you have a workaround.
