Hi Nis,

I think that this is not simple question...

I m in this mailing list but I dont know spawn very well.

Anyway I can said to you ... pay few attention at this change.  

Perapse async is more dinamic...

But you will manage in some way the sync service or tool or demon anyway in order to base of. In example by some tail... if there are a service in base ...

This has been resolved by avoiding to run commands in a terminal where
possible, as already indicated in the previous message to this list.

The part I haven't understood yet is the mechanism used by VTE to keep
track of child processes in order to kill them. If someone has more
knowledge on that, I'd be interested, but it is no longer important.

Thanks!
