[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53355] No option (since --gui option change) leaves daemon-like processes when run as background &

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #53355 (project octave):

Carlo is correct that starting Octave in the background does not create zombie
processes, at least in the traditional meaning of "zombie process" in the Unix
world.

But Dan is also correct the octave wrapper program is not behaving properly
when it is put in the background by the shell.

The behavior of octave-cli is closer to correct.  When octave-cli is started
in the background, the shell shows that it is stopped and then it doesn't
accept input.  But when you bring it back to the foreground, the terminal is
not reinitialized properly.

So some work is needed to make both of these behave properly.
