Hi.
I restore this thread because i have question on the same theme.

I read that when running command in background with &, after logout it must terminate.
But i often run commands like "bzip .. &", then logout - and they don't terminate and continue to work as many time as they have to.

I want understand why?
Because, i think, i can use this ability in scripts some time and it won't work. May be i have to use nohup instead of & ?

xfce4-session-logout

xfce4-session-logout(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   xfce4-session-logout(1)

NAME

       xfce4-session-logout - Logs out from Xfce

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-session-logout

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session-logout command.

       The  xfce4-session-logout  command allows you to programmatically logout from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display
       the logout confirmation screen, or, if given one of the command-line options below, causes the session manager to take the requested action
       immediately.

OPTIONS

       xfce4-session-logout takes the following command line options:

       --logout
	      Log out without displaying the logout dialog.

       --halt Halt without displaing the logout dialog.

       --reboot
	      Reboot without displaying the logout dialog.

       --suspend
	      Suspend without displaying the logout dialog.

       --hibernate
	      Hibernate without displaying the logout dialog.

       --fast Do a fast shutdown.  This instructs the session manager not to save the session, but instead to quit everything quickly.

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.
