[lug] Killed Background process on logout

[Timothy Klein]

I second the use of nohup.  I don't think there is any clean up script.
It is simply that when a parent process dies, all children processes
will also die.  I think this is just standard *nix.  Thus, kill the
initial shell ( or whatever) and all of its descendents go too.
