[wplug] NOHUP question

[Bill]

Yes.

HUP is one of several signals, and KILL is a different one.  When you
start a process with nohup, you are simply saying that this process will
not accept HUP signals.

I think its important to understand, that 'kill' can have multiple
meanings in this discussion.  'kill' refers to both a signal and the
unix command that is used to send signals.  I only mention this because
people have tendency to forget this and it can be very confusing.  Check
out O'Reilly's Unix Systems Programming book for more info on unix
signals.

Also 'kill -l' will give you a full list of signals with their values.
